Greenland is an ideal place for those who like active holidays: not to lie on the beach or walk slowly through the streets of the city, but to discover new places, take difficult routes, conquer the peaks or depths, participate in sports competitions.

If you like this kind of vacation, then you will definitely enjoy a trip to Aasiaat. The Aasiaat Midnight Sun Marathon is held there every year. Although this marathon is a very difficult task, it is a worthy substitute for typical city walks and sightseeing. And even more! You will find three in one during the marathon: you will see incredible nature, test your endurance, and improve your health. This is the perfect combination for an active holiday.

Aasiaat is a small town. Therefore, the route of the marathon is laid along its central streets and main embankments. The total length of the route is 42 kilometers. But do not think that it will be boring to spin circles to go the entire distance. You will be sure to mark something new on each visit. At first, the architecture and nature of the city seem monotonous. However, a curious person will see its uniqueness and diversity of Northern culture and the living world.

Running in the fresh air under the "scorching" Northern sun is a real pleasure. Besides, you run in the company of people who also love sports and unusual adventures.

Every year hundreds of people come to this marathon from all over Greenland and other countries. This event is very popular because the track is interesting. Besides, the climate at this time of year in Greenland is most conducive to these types of activities. It's still cool to walk slowly. But the weather is perfect for a slow jog.
