Now you can sign up for the Polar Circle Marathon 2008. This amazing race that takes place just north of the Polar Circle in Greenland, gives the participants a unique running experience.
Astonishing glaciers, vast tundra, reindeer and musk oxen and of course the Ice Cap itself is some of the amazing sights waiting for the runners.
The route itself will be a good challenge as well as the cold and dry air will contribute to the "adventure" feeling. It is, however, a marathon that can be completed in a fair time although one shouldn?t expect to set a personal record.
The race takes place October 18th and we have put together a Basic Package and an Optional Package for those who wish to explore more of beautiful Greenland.

Yesterday, January 14, Adventure Marathon Manager Rune Nortoft paid a visit to the head office of Danish Red Cross. Here he met with Robert Kwesiga, Head of Region for Red Cross in Southern Africa, who was visiting from Zimbabwe.
On behalf of Adventure Marathon and Albatros Travel, Mr. Nortoft handed over the profit from The Red Cross Big Five Marathon 2007 - a cheque of 100.000 Danish kroner (corresponding to approx. USD 20,000).
The money will be used to build up the South African Red Cross Society (SARCS) creating a solid base for future support and promotion of the society. The Red Cross in South Africa works on very small means and needs more attention in order to help improving health, preventing disease and mitigate suffering in South Africa.
The South African Red Cross Society will also receive the profit of The Red Cross Big Five Marathon in 2008 - the more runners in the marathon, the more funds the South Africans receive.
