Arctic SnowShoe Race

About this event

Set beneath the dramatic peaks of Tromsdalen in Arctic Norway, the Arctic Snowshoe Race brings winter trail running to life on snow. The event offers two distances — a 5km trail and an 8km competition route — both taking runners through pristine Arctic landscapes just outside Tromsø. While snowshoeing might sound niche, it's an established discipline in Norway's athletics scene, and this race welcomes anyone ready to try it. The setting is genuinely special: think snow-covered trails with mountain views that stay bright well into March thanks to the returning Arctic light. It's a proper winter adventure, ideal for runners looking to experience Nordic terrain in a unique way.
