Course on Arctic ice floes, with 6 to 12 feet separating the runners from 12,000 feet of Arctic Ocean. The course consists of 10x 4,2km laps around the 90°N-Point. Temperatures -27°C and lower with chill factor up to -100°C. No road to run but paths on hard, light, soft and deep snow – almost no stable underground. Finishers time depends on weather, underground and temperature.
