Midnight Sun Marathon
Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromsø offers five city road races held under the midnight sun. The event program includes a full marathon, a half marathon and shorter distances. All race courses are measured and certified because the event is a member of AIMS.
The races take place in Tromsø and its arctic surroundings, with nearby mountains and fjords forming the backdrop. The event attracts an international field and large numbers of participants; recent editions report around nine thousand runners from many countries. The race also involves the city, with spectators and volunteers supporting runners along the route and at the finish.
The organiser publishes practical information, route maps, start lists and results for each edition. Photography and video are shared on the event channels. Distances offered include:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- Shorter city distances that together make five race options
