Bordering the world’s largest frozen fjord and the world’s largest National Park competitors will endure challenging sub zero temperatures in this most beautiful and remote region of the High Arctic. Hurry Fjord, the spectacular Liverpool Land mountains and Greenland’s most remote village of Ittoqortoormiit form the backdrop to a new concept in Greenland extreme ski challenge events.

This landmark race will test the skills and commitment of pioneer adventurers over two grueling multi day routes and mark the beginning of a new era of more affordable polar challenge events. Whilst some competitors will be focused on competing at the highest level and with the fastest times, the unique and exciting nature of the event will also attract many adventurers who enter purely for the enjoyment of taking part in such an unusual, challenging and fun expedition. 

The event will pass through valleys, over sea ice, up and down glaciers and through mountains. There is the opportunity to extend your stay and visit Greenland's most remote village of Ittoqqortoormiit  and there will be opportunity for teams to engage in other additional local tours including dog sledding, ice fishing, snowmobiling, hot spring visit, guided village tour.

Private, corporate, sponsored and charity fund raising teams of 3 or 4 people are welcome to apply.

Individuals and pairs will be teamed up to make effective and safe teams for the glacial travel requirements and/or can be teamed up with an experienced Tangent Greenland guide.

Limited places available. All subsidy enquiries MUST be received before the New Year. Please respond asap if interested.
