Northern Lights Ultra
The Northern Lights Ultra is a five-day, multi-stage foot or ski race taking place from March 18 to 22, 2026. The total distance is 290 km (180 miles). The event is set in Canada's Northwest Territories, described as one of the most remote regions on Earth.
The route follows the frozen Peel River. Temperatures can drop as low as -44°C. At night, participants camp under the sky with the Northern Lights.
A separate marathon stage option is also offered, allowing participants to run one stage on pristine ice roads. This option is presented as an opportunity for friends or family of ultra participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
