Tromsø Mountain Challenge

In late August, international travelers have the opportunity to participate in an exhilarating event - the Tromsø Mountain Challenge (TMC). This celebration of Mountain Running consists of four mountain races that will surely push your limits. The TMC-weekend kicks off with the TMC Extreme Race on Friday. This 2.4km uphill run takes place along the famous Sharpa Stairs in Tromsdalen, which were built by Sherpas from Nepal. The race concludes at the Cable Car station that sits 420 meters above sea level.

On Saturday, it's Ultraday and there are two races to choose from. The TMC Ultra 50K and HalfUltra 25K both take place in the stunning Arctic landscape. Participants of the TMC Ultra 50K will be transported by bus to Snarbyeidet, where they will embark on a challenging 50km terrain before finishing in Tromsdalen. Along the way, they will pass through an active reindeer herding district with a rich history dating back several hundred years. Halfway through the race, the TMC HalfUltra 25K runners will join the 50K runners as they continue on together, conquering the mountains surrounding the valley of Tromsdalen.

Sunday brings the TMC Tindløp, a 10.6km uphill race starting in Tromsdalen and ending at the popular Tromsdalstinden, standing at 1238 meters above sea level. This race is not for the faint of heart.

For those who are up for the ultimate challenge, the TMC-Triple awaits. This consists of the TMC Extreme Race on Friday, TMC Ultra 50K on Saturday, and TMC Tindløpet on Sunday. It's sure to be an unforgettable weekend.

Join us for the Tromsø Mountain Challenge - a true celebration of mountain running. See you soon!
