Midnight Sun Marathon (MSM)

There are more than 6000 participants from all over the world gathering in the streets of Tromsø to join the celebration that is Midnight Sun Marathon.

Five different distances are offered under MSM. In 2024, the race was a great success with 7,000 runners from 88 nations taking part and creating an adventurous race party in Tromsø.

Midnight Sun Marathon has been held every year since 1990 in Tromsø, the Arctic capital of Norway located at 69 degrees north. About 350 km north of the arctic circle, most of the city is situated on a small island surrounded by the sea and beautiful mountains. Northern Norway and the nature here is full of strong contrasts that provide intense running experiences for its visitors. During the summer the sun never sets below the horizon and running under the Midnight Sun is a true bucket list oppertunity. 

Our courses are controlled and certified by AIMS
