At least forty athletes took part in a marathon event at the North Pole. Forty athletes gathered at the North Pole on Friday to run a full marathon distance of 42.195 kms (26 miles 385 yards) in temperatures of -26 degrees Celsius. The athletes ran around a research station at the pole and had to remain in plain view of observers to make sure they did not fall or freeze. The course was marked out on the ice with flags. Faces had to be protected from the cold with masks.
