Polar Night Half Marathon

Almost 1700 participants, and among these almost 700 foreign runners from 46 nations who had made their way to the high north to experience the polar night and running in arctic conditions. The ones who had traveled to Tromsø for this event were excited about running in wintry conditions with snow, wind and icy ground. The "traditional" discussion about whether to run with or without spikes, was the big topic before the start at the town square.
