The Race

Tromsø
Established in 2008, the Northern Lights Marathon is now 18 years old. From its first edition in Tromsø, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Norway.
Running the Northern Lights Marathon means operating at the edge of what the human body tolerates. Sub-zero temperatures, biting winds, and a landscape of ice create an environment where finishing is the achievement and time is almost irrelevant.
