ABOUT
Created by ice enthusiasts and the founders of Snowshine Sports, the Polar Ice Ultra is a radical idea. The world’s largest speed skating marathon on wild ice with the largest cash prize. We believe by going back to our roots, skating outside and being surrounded by the elements, we can grow and elevate the sport while offering a unique and competitive experience.
