If you want a race in the artic, that's the one. Fantastic start at the artic line of Finland (with the real santa claus 😉). You will experience amazing sceneries, lots of snow and very good ravito's. Beside the marathon, the organisation provides unique activities, like ice bathing, husky trip,.. . Very good organisation of Apolo and Wildmarathons. The best part, you will meet friends for life.
