 WELCOME TO THE POLAR CIRCLE MARATHON October 19, 2013 Welcome to a tough, unique marathon in truly magnificent scenery. The Polar Circle Marathon 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. A part of the route takes place on the slippery ice cap itself, but the main part of the course is run on the gravel road (often snow covered) that connects the inland ice with the small township of Kangerlussuaq, just north of the Polar Circle. The average temperature in Greenland in October is normally around -10ºC/15ºF, but colder temperatures should be expected. Snow is not unusual, but the race can be completed in a pair of normal running shoes. 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.
