Key Facts
---Standouts
Polar Night Marathon is Norway's largest winter race, held on 9 January 2027. It is a unique race in the blue hour north of the Arctic Circle, offering distances from 5 km to full marathon (42.1 km), allowing participants to experience the magnificent Arctic nature up close.
Why attend here
In the deep quiet of the Arctic winter, this marathon lets you run under the blue hour’s ethereal glow, a light you won’t find anywhere else. When you’re not on the course, warm up with a bowl of rich fish soup in Tromsø’s old wharf district, then chase the northern lights from the cable car viewpoint. It’s a rare chance to see the city at its most intimate, wrapped in snow and stillness.
