Join an Arctic running experience in the Polar Night! Experience Norway’s largest winter race with approximately 2000 runners from all over the world.
General information
The Polar Night marathon takes place in the middle of the day, but at this time of year the sun never rises above the horizon. In the absence of the sun there will be darkness, occasionally interfered by the amazing display of colours that is so special for this time of year. Indeed, a trip to Tromsø to run the PolarNight Marathon is also a great opportunity to hunt for the Northern lights (Aurora Borealis).
You can choose a distance after your level and ambitions: Marathon, Halfmarathon, Mørketidsmila (10K) or SATS Mørketidstrim (5K).
When: 3rd January 2026
