Run travel specialist Marathon Tours & Travel has launched its inaugural Arctic Marathon Package – set in the Arctic Circle for what is being billed as ‘a truly memorable race experience’.
Responding to the demand from Seven Continents Club (SCC) members and Antarctica Marathon alumni, Marathon Tours & Travel has curated a planned itinerary.
Set to take place from September 2-15, 2024, the package offers participants a unique blend of exploration and challenge. Highlights include a 10-night cruise aboard the Ocean Albatros, with stops at picturesque locations, three nights in Copenhagen, Denmark, and a chartered flight to Greenland for the Arctic Marathon, Half-Marathon, or Ultra 50K race.
“This inaugural Arctic Marathon Package is a testament to our commitment to providing runners with unparalleled experiences in the most remarkable destinations on Earth,” said Jeff Adams, President of Marathon Tours & Travel.
“We have meticulously crafted every aspect of this journey, from the thrilling marathon races to the awe-inspiring excursions, ensuring that our participants create memories that last a lifetime.”
He added “We’ve spared no effort in ensuring that our participants have an unforgettable experience. From guided tours to an exclusive race briefing reception and post-race celebration, every detail has been meticulously planned to exceed expectations.”
In addition to the Arctic Marathon events, participants will have the opportunity to explore the Arctic landscape through excursions and wildlife encounters, all while enjoying the comfort of the Ocean Albatros vessel.
The Arctic Marathon Package also includes exclusive perks such as official race apparel, as well as the official polar challenge tech shirt and medal for Antarctica and Arctic finishers.
For those seeking to extend their trip, Marathon Tours & Travel is also planning a post-race extension to Reykjavik, Iceland.
