8/22/2008 - 8/23/2008Bjorkliden Arctic Mountain Marathon
Bjorkliden,
Sweden
Located 200km (124 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, Bjorkliden makes for a breathtaking setting for this international marathon event. But unlike conventional marathons, this is a two-day mountaineering marathon with teams of two competing to complete the course. Not for the fainthearted, competitors must plot their way around the course which involves spending a night on the mountain. There are three levels - 30km (18 miles), 50km (31 miles) and 70km (43 miles) - with the two longer courses divided up into men's, women's and mixed events; male, female and mixed teams compete against each other on the shortest 30km course.
