During midsummer in Lapland, daylight stretches endlessly for days. The Sunset Relay race launched on Sunday, June 21, with athletes running nonstop as long as the sun remains above the horizon.
Teams departed from Luleå at sunrise on June 21, set to return on June 24 after covering 1,300 kilometers—just before sunset.
This unique event spotlights essential sun safety. Apply sunscreen everywhere—not just at the beach, but during walks, workouts, or cloudy days. During peak heat, seek shade and opt for protective clothing to stay safe.
