Experience Summary

Experience one of the world’s most unique running events — the Tromsø Midnight Sun Marathon, held each June beneath a sun that never sets. Whether you’re running the full marathon, half marathon, or the 10 km Coop Mila, you’ll feel the same Arctic magic. Combine race weekend with an unforgettable campervan journey through northern Norway, linking the Lofoten Islands, Lyngen Alps and Tromsø across eight spectacular days. Wake to mirror-flat fjords, run in endless daylight, and fall asleep with golden mountains outside your window.

Highlights

  • Run beneath the midnight sun at the world’s northernmost city marathon — with options for 10 km, half or full distance.
  • Road-trip the Lofoten Islands & Lyngen Alps — jagged peaks, turquoise bays and glacier-carved valleys.
  • Sleep where you run — your campervan brings you closer to beaches, mountains and start lines.
  • Taste the Arctic — fresh cod, coffee in harbour cafés, and beer from the world’s northernmost brewery.
  • Recover with a view — stretch beside the van or hike a midnight ridge under glowing skies.

Between runs you’ll drive scenic coastal routes that weave between glaciers and fishing villages, stopping to hike, photograph, and soak in the endless daylight. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or a quiet shoreline jog on a white-sand beach, this northern adventure connects race energy with wilderness calm.

Not yet convinced to travel by RV?
We think this trip is best by campervan — the freedom to sleep beside fjords and trailheads is unbeatable. If you prefer fixed stays, consider Tromsø Lodge for race weekend and Lyngen Lodge or Henningsvær Rorbuer for post-race relaxation.
