The Arctic Run has its origins from the Hadsel Marathon, the unique race around Hadseløya, which has been organized since 1987. In 2024, the race will be held for the 35th time, undergoing a significant transformation from a local event to an international world-class gathering. For this historic shift, Arctic Sport has partnered with Stokmarknes Idrettslag, the organization behind the premiere cycling event in Northern Norway, Arctic Race of Norway. Arctic Sport, leveraging its expertise and experience, aims to elevate yet another major event in the region under the motto “more than just a race.”

These partners are offering expertise, experience, and commitment for a long-term commitment to showcase Vesterålen on the global stage and provide participants with a unique island experience. We believe that major events are crucial for both the people and businesses in the north.
The ultimate island marathon kicks off the 8th of June 2024 in Vesterålen.
