Description by organiser keyboard_arrow_down

The Midnight Sun Marathon is an arctic adventure for runners. In the summer, Tromsø has the midnight sun, with long bright days and nights where the sun never sets. Our street races are characterized by strong contrasts and intense experiences.

Five different distances are offered under MSM. In 2024, the race was a great success with 7,000 runners from 88 nations taking part and creating an adventurous running party in Tromsø.

The race is a public festival that not only gathers participants and officials, but the whole town cheers the runners on at the finish line. Many of the participants return year after year to experience the intimate atmosphere surrounding the event.

Course highlights
The Midnight Sun Marathon is a great trail that starts in the center and goes over the Tromsø bridge after approx. 2km. at the top of the bridge you will have a view towards Tromsdalstinden and the Arctic Cathedral. In Tromsdalen, the track goes south towards Solligården to Berg and on to the turn at Sandvika. The trail goes back the same way over the bridge, through the center of Tromsø, around the southern tip of Tromsøya to the turn at Vangberg, then back to the center and finish in Storgata by Kirkeparken. If we are lucky with the weather, marathon runners will see the midnight sun in the north and have a view of the beautiful snow-covered mountains outside Tromsø. The race and the distance are control measured and certified by AIMS.
