Arrowhead 135

Embark Oasis

Volunteer Sign-UP

We are looking for volunteers for the coolest, and probably coldest, aid station along the Arrowhead 135 race.  

The Embark Oasis is the third and final aid station along this epic route.  We set up two hot-tents, a giant bonfire and have a 48 hour party in the woods of Northern Minnesota in January. 

 We also have important work to do, providing check-ins, warm water and GOOD ENERGY for the mad few who traverse 135 miles by bike, ski, kicksled and foot through this wild, cold wilderness. 

The Embark Oasis at the Arrowhead 135 is a highlight of our year, and we would love to share the fun with you.

We're starting to plan now, so if you're interested, let us know.  You are not committing to being there nor can we promise a particular schedule.  We'll let you know more as plans develop!

  • The Embark Oasis will be staffed from 10am, Monday Jan 29 2024 through 10am Wednesday Jan 31 2024. We will be ready for racers from 4pm Monday through about 6am Wednesday.

  • Our aid station is north of Cook, MN near the Wood Loop Ski Trail trailhead. The roads have changed, and Google doesn’t know about it, so keep an eye out for the official “Mapkin” to guide you there.

  • A good attitude is key! Duties include check-in, Fire Keeper/Stoker and Kitchen crew. If you have skills that will help in a winter wilderness environment, please let us know, but all that is required is cozy gear and Good Energy!

  • Winter camping will be available at the aid station. There is also a motel in Cook, and various cabins in the vicinity. Volunteers are responsible for their own lodging.

Would you like to earn your ears and tail?

Volunteer with Team Embark and go home with some nifty and delicious stuff. Each event is different, so we may need help at an expo booth, brewing Maple Steamers, catching photos of Eric the Fox in action or simply spreading Good Energy to folks doing hard things. No matter where we are, the Embark Oasis is a great time and is guaranteed to recharge your stockpile of Good Energy.
