On the agenda, two choices: either a 5-day adventure or a marathon of madness. For the adventure: 5 stages of running, cold, and admiration ๐คฉ. The Northern Light Ultra sets you a course on an Arctic ice road, under the Northern Lights ๐. You can do it on foot or on skis, your choice! So, prepare your March, with a ticket to the northwest of Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. This skyrunning course starts from Fort McPherson ๐. In total, a 290 km course along the Peel River. A piece of advice, bring your warmest gear ๐งฃ, because the weather promises to be chilly amid the snow. โ๏ธ Even though it may seem impossible, temperatures could drop to -44ยฐCโฆ ๐ฅถ Remember, your gear will accompany you during your race, so prepare your sled to pack them properly ๐ท.
