The story

Asi Ultra Marathon in Greenland frozen lakes/tundra/sea ice route

A 160-kilometre, three-day stage race each March across Greenland's frozen lakes, tundra, and sea ice, limited to just 24 participants and following a route across an ancient Inuit hunting ground used for more than 4,000 years, run in temperatures between minus 5 and minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Asi Ultra Marathon runs a 160-kilometre stage race across Greenland's frozen lakes, tundra, and sea ice over three days each March, following a route etched by the paws of sled dogs across ancient hunting ground that Inuit communities have used for more than 4,000 years.

02

The mystery stays covered

Its route across an Inuit hunting ground used for more than 4,000 years, still legible from generations of dog-sled travel, gives the course a documented cultural and historical layer that a purpose-built race route elsewhere would lack
