Polar Circle Marathon 2010














































Winner of Polar Circle Marathon 2010





* Polar Circle Marathon known as “the coolest marathon on earth”.

* Takes place in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. 

* The endless ice and snow of this vast country make up the backdrop of this unusual race, in which runners pass glacier tongues, moraine landscapes and soundless, arctic desert.


* The course is run on the snow covered gravel road connecting the inland ice with the small township of Kangerlussuaq, just north of the Polar Circle. 

* A part of the route even takes place on the Greenlandic ice cap itself.


* 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 and beautiful corners of the world.
