About the Midnight Sun Marathon
Midnight Sun Marathon is Tromso's Arctic summer road race, known for a late start, international field, and the unusual experience of racing in full night-time daylight.
Course
The road marathon is built around Tromso's city, bridge, and waterfront setting north of the Arctic Circle. The evening start changes the rhythm of race-day fueling and focus.
Race-day weather
Arctic summer conditions can be cool even in June, with wind and rain possible. The midnight-sun setting keeps the race bright, but not necessarily warm.
