About the Event

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Finnish Lapland at the Arctic Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10k race. This unique event begins on the square where Father Christmas makes his home in Rovaniemi, right along the exact line marking the Arctic Circle.
The route weaves through a mix of semi-urban areas and dense coniferous forests, with runners crossing over frozen rivers that add to the enchanting winter scenery. The cold air and snow-covered terrain provide an exhilarating challenge for both seasoned athletes and casual participants alike.
Beyond just running, this event offers a range of Arctic adventures including sledding pulled by Siberian Huskies, plunging into icy waters at the local ice pool, and marveling at the stunning aurora borealis from cozy bungalows equipped with saunas. These rustic yet comfortable accommodations are nestled in traditional Finnish style lodges that provide all meals and airport transfers.
The event concludes with a celebratory trophy party where runners can relax and enjoy their accomplishments while receiving a finisher's medal and technical jacket as mementos of this extraordinary experience.
Experience the magic of Lapland, combining physical endurance with cultural immersion and unforgettable winter activities in one remarkable package.
