Midnight Sun Marathon, Tromsø, Norway
View Original Description
Every year runners from more than 50 different countries meet in Tromsø to run in the Arctic under the midnight sun. Midnight Sun Marathon is held at night, but you still run in bright daylight. The pure feeling of the midnight sun in stunning surroundings is a major part of the reason why the race is a target for a great number of runners round the world.
At 70°N the Midnight Sun Marathon is the world`s northernmost AIMS certified marathon. You can choose between five different distances; the marathon, halfmarathon, 10km race, 4.2km fun-run, and children`s race.
The race starts and finishes at the city centre. The runners are facing the Tromsø Bridge after 2 km; an uphill from 6 to 43 meters over sea level. After running about 20 km the runners recross the bridge, and return through the city centre.
