Okay, so last December you ran the Honolulu Marathon<\/a> and found it exhilarating. Ready for a new challenge? How about something a little less…tropical?<\/p>\n The Polar Circle Marathon<\/a> delivers. If you’ve ever felt like running 26 miles through Greenland’s snow-covered moraine hills and across its permanent ice cap, this race is for you.<\/p>\n This year’s event takes place on October 24, when the weather is said to be “normally beautiful and not too cold.” Still, a hat, gloves, extra layers, gaiters, and yes, running spikes<\/a>, are called for.<\/p>\n The organizers are quick to stress that<\/p>\n “this is first and foremost an adventure…The Polar Circle Marathon\u00ae is the perfect way to combine a special running event with exploring one of the most remote and beautiful corners of the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n What do you say? Any takers?<\/p>\n
