The Icefjord Midnight Marathon takes place in the picturesque town of Ilulissat (Greenland), a colorful backdrop that winds its way through the ancient Inuit ruins of Sermermiut to the UNESCO-accredited Ilulissat Icefjord. With ice stretching out as far as the eye can see, embark on a true trail run over rocky terrain and past impressive icebergs that glitter under nocturnal sunlight.
Ilulissat is an extraordinary winter wonderland located about 300KM above the Arctic Circle in the Disko Bay on the western coast of Greenland. It is Greenland’s third largest city with a population of 5,000 people. Although this small number may be surprising, the fact that there are almost as many sled dogs as people is even more so!
We offer a four-night and a five-night package with several optional excursions such as kayaking among the icebergs - this frosty gem is the perfect place to explore on the water, especially where it is home to more than 15 species of whales! You can also hike and sail to the Oqaatsut Settlement or opt to meet a local musher who will introduce you to his way of life, his dogs and educate you on their upbringing. Two optional post-race extensions are available. Consider joining us and embark on the adventure of a lifetime!
