Welcome to a tough, unique marathon in truly magnificent scenery. Greenland's endless ice and snow make up the backdrop of this unusual race, in which runners pass glacier tongues, moraine landscapes and soundless, arctic desert. Most of the course is run on gravel road and smaller paths between moraine hills – except for the part that takes place on the 3 km thick Greenlandic ice cap, of course. October weather in Greenland is normally beautiful and not too cold. Sunshine is the order of the day, though the occasional light snowfall may occur. Expect temperatures of around -5º C / 25º F. The Polar Circle Marathon is the perfect way to combine a special running event with exploring one of the most remote corners of the world.
