Race
Oliver Hardy and Matthew TaylorThe Arctic Circle Race is one of the most demanding marathon cross-country ski events in the world taking place in the harsh arctic climate of . The race itself comprises three days skiing over undulating terrain through the back country of Sisimuit covering a distance of over 160 kilometres in temperatures that can range from 0°C to -40°C. The area is also known to have frequent visits from polar bears!
The extreme conditions and distances have meant that training has been rigorous and diverse, ranging from cycling to roller-skiing! We have also recently completed a week long training trip out in which culminated in a gruelling 50km race.
The race runs from 9-11 April and we are aiming to raise as much money as possible for Whizz-Kidz. So please donate generously and help us help Whizz-Kidz make a real difference.
We will keep everyone posted on how we get on out in .
Many thanks!
Oli and Matt
