The Montane Arctic Spine Race | A non-stop expedition along the Kungsleden Trail

Since its creation, the Montane Spine Race has tested the limits of human endurance making it one of the most notorious foot races on the planet.
Now, we are taking that spirit of adventure and pushing it to the next level. We’ve designed a new challenge coming in 2024 set in one of the most extreme environments on earth. This is an expedition with a twist. It’s the Montane Arctic Spine Race.
This immersive, expedition-style race begins in Abisko, northern Sweden, and spans 293 miles to Hemavan. Participants have 192 hours (8 days) to complete the journey, using skis or snowshoes and either pulling a pulk or carrying a backpack.
The shorter Arctic Spine Challenger starts in Abisko, covers 129 miles to Kvikkjokk, and allows 84 hours (3.5 days) for completion.
The Arctic Spine Race leads competitors through awe-inspiring landscapes and extreme weather conditions, requiring self-sufficiency and an expedition mindset. Success demands rigorous mental and physical preparation.
The Arctic Spine Race is not to be taken lightly. It may be the most demanding Spine Race challenge yet. This unforgettable adventure will push participants to discover new depths of personal strength and determination.
Can you conquer the Arctic Spine?
Join us in 2024 for the Montane Arctic Spine Race.

As a trial-runner and skier, this appeals so much. Maybe once I've got a couple of ultras under my belt

Cannot wait to see the final results and hopefully there shall be a film to follow as the spine race has been a massive inspiration to myself.
