What is the Polar Challenge in 5 Minutes?


This video montage below briefly demonstrates what the Polar Challenge race is, for more information see about the race.



Polar Challenge is a 320-nautical mile race to the 1996 position of the Magnetic North Pole with the competitors stopping en route at two manned checkpoints to re-supply.

The race is held between mid-April to mid-May every year since 2004, and is televised annually to 168 million homes in 107 countries.

Racing in teams of 3, in the most beautiful scenery imaginable, many of the competitors join as individuals and form teams when they meet other contestants during the training sessions in the UK and Norway.

The team members come from all walks of life and are a variety of ages. What they have in common is physical stamina, mental endurance and a desire to achieve the extraordinary.
