North Pole marathon
Mythical marathon around the 90 degrees north latitude
Live a unique experience running the 42.195 kilometers in the world's northernmost point. Here we have the opportunity to become one of the few people who have run a marathon on the ice sea at the North Pole. Million square kilometers of sea ice will be our running track. And just a couple of meters below the ice on which we run lies a 4,000 meters deep ocean.
The 90º North, have been a longed-for goal for some of the greatest explorers in history. In this race we will experience the same feelings that had Admundsen, Peary, Nansen and other mythical explorers in the Arctic Ocean, but doing our favorite sport.
