Sea Ice Marathon Weekend offers you a unique running event combined with a weekend in the winter wonderland. You get the great opportunity to run on the frozen sea, which is internationally known for its amazing ice track. As if it wasn't already a lot, let's add one of the most sought-after winter activities in the North - a snowmobile ride! To complete the package, you will not only experience how it feels to slide over the snow and ice with a snowmobile. On this guided tour you will also hunt the fantastic northern lights, a dream that is at the top of many bucket lists!
But it's not just the race and the activities that are attractive. Luleå city also offers good shopping opportunities and several nice restaurants. You can take a nice walk through the charming centre and enjoy the typical Swedish fika.
Another attraction in our fantastic city is located just outside Luleå's city centre. On the UNESCO World Heritage List, Gammelstad Church Town, you can visit cozy shops with locally designed products and crafts and experience the beautiful and unique world heritage with or without a guide.
If you want to experience even more, you can of course book various great activities such as snowshoe hiking or dog sledding. For more inspiration, please click on our web page.

On arrival at Luleå airport, you will be welcomed by one of our guides, who will then drive you to your accommodation in the centre of Luleå. After checking in to your hotel, the rest of the day is free to explore the city. You can stroll through the streets, settle down in a cozy cafe and have a fika or check out one of the many restaurants.
In the evening at 8 p.m., it's time for your Northern Lights hunt by car.
Your guide will pick you up at Kulturens Hus in central Luleå (at 8 p.m.) and then we'll set off on a hunt to see the beautiful northern lights. Make sure you are at Kulturens hus a few minutes before 20:00, so we can leave on time.
To be able to capture this mythical lights, we must be outside on clear evenings. With good conditions, we have great chances of catch the northern lights. But even if the conditions are not that good, there is a chance to capture them as we are out with a car. Thus, we have a large radius for the hunt and the possibility to get away from the clouds. Your experienced guide will assess the aurora activity as well as the weather conditions before the start of the tour. With this information, the most optimal decision is made about the hunting trip.
During these three hours you go to at least three different places if you won't catch them right away. If you are lucky and see the dancing light, it is time to take many nice pictures and enjoy a Swedish fika (something sweet to eat and hot to drink). During the drive, the guide will tell you more about the northern lights, the magic behind them and the myths surrounding them.
After enjoying a healthy breakfast buffet, you will eventually take the short walk to Södra Hamnplan. Here you will be greeted by a wonderful atmosphere with many tagged runners who are all equally looking forward to the day's experience. This race that leads you for many kilometers on the frozen Baltic Sea is a unique race that cannot be found anywhere else in the same way. If the sun is shining, you get spring feelings from all this light even though it is winter and you are surrounded by ice and snow. Luckily, Luleå is one of the cities with the most hours of sunshine in all of Sweden, a nice starting point for creating spring feelings 🙂
After completing your race, it will be time for relaxation. The hotel's spa will await you to reward your muscles after the effort on the ice road.
After a wonderful weekend in Luleå, it is time to travel home. If you have a couple of hours before departure, you can do one last activity. Maybe a snowshoe hike? Or go out with an experienced guide on an ice fishing trip. There is much more to experience here in the north, just check our website.
If you have an early flight, it's time to get ready and check out of your hotel. One of our guides will drive you to the airport and we wish you a pleasant journey home.
