Tromsø Midnight Sun Marathon

The Midnight Sun Marathon is hosted annually by the Norwegian city of Tromsø in June each year.

The Midnight Sun Marathon first started in 1990 and has runners from most of the world, attracted by its special feature of running in the midnight sun.

The runners are facing the Tromsø Bridge after 2 km; an uphill from 6 to 43 meters over sea level.

After running about 20 km the runners recross the bridge, and return through the city centre.
