Lapland Ultra

What is this? a proffesional marathon or just a local game for all to join. I seams that it is like a familiar event with a touch prestigious seriousness. I mean who actually what to run in the middle of the night for up to 8-14 hours?

Seriously, I like the idea a lot!  Lapland offers light 24 hour around the clock, the midnight sun make this a interesting and exciting run, or walk if you prefer that. The night with all the animals along the road, the endless forest and waterways....It´s a classic...;-)
