Great run with a great storyteller. Have been in Tromsø a few times, but never seen all the hidden gems that was located in nice surroundings. Also bought a nice souvenir ;)

If you want to experience cultural highlights, Kristoffer is the right person to learn about the history of Tromsø. I had a fantastic running tour both during the day and at night. I joined a daytime tour in August, which was absolutely amazing. Later, in my free time, I joined a night tour in September around Prestvannet and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. It was an unforgettable experience. The small group size, great atmosphere, and Kristoffer’s guidance made the tour worth every krone. You don’t need to be super fit to take part, Kristoffer takes care of you, encourages you, and adapts to your pace to make the tour enjoyable for everyone.
A Day To Remember <3

Wow – what an experience! Tromsø Arctic Run delivered a fantastic combination of activity, breathtaking nature, and the very best sights of the Arctic capital. The tour took us through the city streets, green areas, and amazing viewpoints, all at a comfortable running pace, while we enjoyed Tromsø’s beauty from a truly unique perspective. A huge thank you to Kristoffer, our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide! He was always friendly, full of energy, and shared great local stories and tips – all while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun throughout the run. I was really impressed by how unique this tour was: the perfect mix of sightseeing and fitness all in one. The views over the fjord, the mountains, and the sparkling sea were simply stunning. So much better than a regular guided tour – and so much more active and engaging! Tromsø truly showed itself from its very best side – fresh air, majestic landscapes, and a real Arctic feeling, all wrapped up in this active adventure. Recommendation to others: This is an experience I would absolutely recommend to everyone – whether you’re a local, a visitor, with family or friends. Light-hearted, fun, and memorable – perfect for anyone who wants to explore Tromsø in an active and unique way. Big thanks again to Kristoffer and Tromsø Arctic Run – I would love to do this again on my next visit!
