The island track of The Arctic Run welcomes all, catering to both beginners and experienced runners with its flat terrain and 300-meter maximum elevation.
Speed enthusiasts will appreciate this route, yet caution is advised: the captivating scenery might tempt you to slow down and immerse yourself in the beauty of Vesterålen.
The half marathon follows along the outer side of Hadseløya, with a view towards the sea, Langøya and the mountains in Bø.
The trail turns halfway at the idyllic Dragnes, where for the first time on the trip, one will see the mighty Lofoten wall. The trail is fast yet varied, with a total elevation gain of approximately 80 meters.
This route is perfect for those who want a beautiful 10K experience while also having extra time to enjoy the rest of what Vesterålen has to offer.
The trail provides views of the sea, Langøya, and the mountains in Bø. The route turns just before Flatset and returns to the center of Stokmarknes. In total, the trail has 40 meters of elevation and stretches through a mix of city center, residential areas, and beautiful natural landscapes.
