A moving setting
The North Pole race takes place on Arctic sea ice, rather than on continental land. The summer FAQ describes a suitable floe at or close to 90° North, reached aboard the expedition ship.
Prepare for footing
Runbuk’s training guidance starts with regular marathon preparation and accounts for longer time on your feet. Testing familiar shoes, clothing and temperature control on suitable snow conditions can help you understand how your kit behaves.
Course confirmation
The final loop, access and race format depend on conditions. Registration terms allow an onboard course in whole or in part if suitable safe ice is unavailable. Record and review the applicable contingency terms with your booking.
Your final participant instructions and approved event terms take priority. Check your dashboard for organizer updates.
