About us

The Midnight Sun Marathon Foundation organises several running events in Tromsø throughout the year, with different distances and challenges for experienced runners and recreational participants alike.

The Midnight Sun Marathon takes place in summer and offers five distances under the midnight sun. In winter, the Polar Night Marathon gives participants the opportunity to run through Tromsø during the Polar Night season.

The foundation also organises Tromsø Mountain Challenge, with trail races in the mountains around Tromsø, as well as Tromsø Backyard Ultra, where participants complete a new lap every hour for as long as they are able to continue.

With events in different seasons and distances ranging from shorter road races to marathons, trail races and ultra running, the foundation gives both local and visiting runners the opportunity to experience Tromsø through running.
