Über die Veranstaltung

The Arctic Circle Race is recognized as the world’s most challenging and breathtaking cross-country skiing competition. This three-day adventure race spans 160 and 100 kilometers, with participants spending two nights in a camp nestled amidst the mountains and wilderness of Sisimiut, Greenland. The event had its origins in 1998 when local visionaries aimed to establish the world’s toughest cross-country skiing event, resulting in the formation of the Arctic Circle Race, which has since become a culturally significant event in the community.
