Discover the subarctic!

For 2023 Walk the Walk have decided to put the Arctic Challenge 'on ice'... this is for many reasons, the main ones being Covid-19 and the current economy... all being well, we will be back and skiing across the Arctic in 2024. If you are interested in taking part please enter your interest here!

Embrace this truly unique adventure and embark on the challenge of a lifetime... backcountry ski a full marathon over 2 days on trails in Abisko National Park. The route, distance and in this time, is quite a challenge... not to mention the variable weather!

As well as a Marathon, you may experience the excitement of seeing the Northern Lights, the thrill of husky sledging, sleeping in the wilderness in mountain huts with no electricity and a 2 night stay at the unique and very special IceHotel and sleeping on a bed of ice... all whilst uniting against breast cancer!

The scenery is everything I hoped for & more, and the group spirit was fab!

By taking on the Arctic Challenge, I wanted to give something back! I liked the idea of joining a group of like-minded people to go on an adventure and raise much needed funds at the same time.
