The Midnight Sun Marathon is the northernmost certified marathon in the world - hosted annually in the Norwegian city of Tromsø in June each year. The event started in 1989 and immediately attracted runners from all around the world so that they could run a marathon in the midnight sun. The field record of the marathon is 2:38:22 for women and 2:20:56 for men.

The run starts and finishes in the city centre. After 2km you'll cross the Bridge of Tromsø. The bridge rises from 6 up to 43 meters over sea level and brings runners to Tromsdalen where the sight of the Arctic Cathedral with the mountains behind is a great view. After running about 20km the runners recross the bridge and return through the city centre. The second half of the course is mainly flat and quite easy to run. The course has been measured and controlled by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS). The max time limit for marathon is 5 hours and 30 minutes.
