The Polar Circle Marathon

October 30 - October 31

- Free

The April event in 2021 has been cancelled.
The October even in 2021 is still available.

The Polar Circle Marathon is unique in that it is the only marathon in which you can run on Greenland’s IceCap itself. The majority of the course, however, is run on road, which is often covered in snow, due to the race taking place in late October.
