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.

Congratulations to Dan Byles, one of our competitors in Polar Race 2007, who has just been elected Conservative MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth.

He was helped in his campaigning by the enthusiasm and determination of his Mum, Jan Meek, who in 2007 became the oldest woman to walk to a pole.

As I said in a text to Dan:

  • Good looking
  • Successful Polar adventurer
  • Successful Atlantic oarsman

Obviously got the female vote!

Sadly this now rules him out of consideration for the "Row to the Pole" crew, for which he would otherwise have been a prime candidate. He will be otherwise very occupied!
