RE: Ice Road Run invitation

in #trailrunning8 years ago (edited)

Yeh sorry I don't do ice mainly because I would hate to injure myself and not be able to run. I just searched for this road and its on a website about dangerous roads. lol

Sort:  

I find it safe, with so much room I can run in the middle of the road if I want to.

Where there is firm snow it is easier to keep your feet, and there is usually plenty .

Is this actually water in the summer and it freezes in the winter so it can be used as a road?

Yes, in the photos, I am on Yellowknife Bay, on the Dettah Ice Road, with 100 feet or so of water under about 5 feet of ice.

It used to scare me to be on the ice...I felt a kind of vertigo, but not so much anymore.

That's very cool. Thanks.
