Lapland's nature, and the joy of exercise are combined to make the Santa Claus Marathon in Rovaniemi in the Finnish Lapland. You can either choose to run a half or full marathon, and what's more, you can walk instead of running.

Santa Claus will start the racers on their way, and everyone will be given a diploma for crossing the Arctic Circle after this unique marathon event that takes place in Finland.
