Montane Arctic Spine

The Montane Arctic Spine is a grueling, non-stop race spanning 293 miles (472 km) along the Kungsleden Trail in the breathtaking Arctic landscape of Sweden. Beginning in Abisko, participants traverse snowfields, Arctic tundra, and frozen woodlands, often creating their own paths towards the finish in Hemavan. This expedition demands self-sufficiency and expertise in extreme cold, as competitors face temperatures plunging to -40°C and fierce winds reaching 40 mph. Racers must navigate through challenging whiteout conditions, requiring exceptional determination and skill to conquer one of the world's toughest races.
