The scenery was just so beautiful. You couldn’t stop and admire it for long or you’d freeze to death. But it was very beautiful. A belting adventure.

It's beautiful in Swedish Lapland but tougher than I imagined. The cold punishes any mistakes. I wanted to know what I was capable of after all my training and this race showed me.

An incredible race in a beautiful landscape, with so many helpful and caring volunteers. Running in a raw and untouched landscape with elephant, rhino, giraffe and zebras was epic.
