✨ Honoured to see NRK highlight Polar Night Marathon as more than a race – a winter folk festival in the Arctic. ❄️🏃‍♀️ 2300 runners, the whole city involved, and a new women’s course record by Yngvild Kaspersen 💪

Stats for a run: 21.32 km at a 5:46 min/km pace.

New personal worst, as projected! I'll see the silver lining of being able to predict my running ability. #runsky #running #polarnightmarathon Nice event!

Here we stand – happy after the #PolarNightMarathon. ✨❄️🏃‍♀️
Thank you, Tromsø: to the volunteers, the cheers in the cold, the smiles along the course. 💙

Here they are. ❄️🏃‍♂️✨
Right now, nearly 200 runners are out on the #PolarNightMarathon course: 42.195 km. In darkness. In winter. In the far north.
That deserves one thing: respect.
2300+ participants this weekend. More than a race — a folk festival, a community. 💙

A view across a fjord, with pointy, snow-covered mountains on the other side, silhouetted against a polar dusk. The sky is white and there's a ship hiding in plain view.

An otter slide in deep snow.

One last shakeout ahead of Saturday's HM. I expect a personal worst, but such is life. Properly cold (-15 C/5 F), with sea smoke rising off the ocean. The otters have enjoyed the snow. #polarnightmarathon #runsky #running

Stats for a run: 10.41 km at a 5:57 min/km pace.

Two red wooden houses covered in snow near the ocean. Across the fjord, mountains rise up toward the sky. The sun is below the horizon, but the sky is light. There are some clouds - there's snow falling in the distance on the right.

Hard to capture the majesty of this place, but the polar night is glorious. #runsky #trailrunning #running #polarnightmarathon

Some races are about time. Others are about place, people, and purpose. 🌌🏃‍♂️❄️
