The Polar Race: the race to the magnetic North pole

The race itself is 350+ Nautical miles over sea ice and Arctic islands. You will be on foot and skis, towing your belongings in a sledge behind you. It starts at Resolute Bay (Nunavut, Canada), one of the northernmost inhabited settlements, and the finish line is four checkpoints later at the magnetic North pole.

We have the experience to help you achieve this. Since 2003, we have had only two people unable to reach the pole after starting out from Resolute Bay.

That's a 97% success rate!

This is a challenge without comparison and a journey of self-discovery you will never forget.

A group of 2011 racers found themselves getting very hot and sweaty on Saturday, in the Gym at Waldegrave School, Twickenham . They then had to endure the cold outside while coping with a series of "Command Tasks" designed by former Atlantic oarsman Roger Gould.

The tasks were designed to make them "think outside the box", with some interesting results!

They'll need to think in a different manner when they're in the Arctic and this kind of preparation can make all the difference.
