Polar Circle Marathon

The Polar Circle Marathon - often referred to as 'the coolest marathon on Earth' - takes place in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. The endless ice and arctic tundra of this vast country are the backdrop for this unusual race, in which runners race through the soundless arctic desert past glacier tongues and moraine landscapes.
