World's Coolest Marathon!!!

It is a 'sureal' running experience of a lifetime. On April 7th 2007, athletes like you will have the opportunity to make history as a continuing new breed of Arctic adventurer. By competing in the world's coolest marathon, the North Pole Marathon, you will become one of a truly select few to race at the top of the world - at the Geographic North Pole. And you will feel on top of the world when you manage to overcome the extreme sub-zero temperatures to finish 26.2 miles in one of the remotest parts of the planet.

Have you got the nerve and drive to travel to the North Pole and run on Arctic ice floes, with a mere 6 to 12 feet separating you from 12,000 feet of Arctic Ocean? Can you handle the extreme cold? Are you fit enough? Do you want to push yourself to the edge? If the answer is YES, then you are ready for the North Pole Marathon. :)

A trip of a lifetime, this marathon is not run on land - it is run on water, frozen water, in the high Arctic Ocean. You will never have a greater adventure marathon story.

Hear what they said.....

"I've been at the Pole before but this was pleasantly different in that I didn't have to haul a sled there! The race is a unique combination of two things I enjoy: polar challenges and marathon running. It's a great test of fitness and stamina. Well done."....Sir Ranulph Fiennes, UK (Polar Explorer and 2004 Competitor)

"This race is heaven. It is extremely well organised and a joy to run. Anybody who puts their mind to it can achieve it." ...Sean Burch, USA (Everest climber and 2004 Winner)
