Midnight Sun Marathon
Midnight Sun Marathon is a series of five street races held in Tromsø during the arctic summer when the sun does not set. The event combines urban streets with views of surrounding mountains and fjords and takes place under the midnight sun.
The race programme includes several distances and certified, measured courses; the organiser is a member of AIMS. The event gathers participants, volunteers and many local spectators who line parts of the course and support runners. Many participants return year after year.
Statistics from 2026 list five distances, about 9 000 runners and participants from 97 nations. The event offers a range of options for road runners, from a full marathon to shorter street races.
