Day 2-3:Running days

For the next two days it is all about running some epic trails with breathtaking views. The morning starts with breakfast onboard whilst we decide on the itinerary for the day. We will take weather and conditions into consideration when planning the routes. We have some different options to choose between; a morning session and an afternoon session or one long run. Senja offers a huge variety of trails and we are sure to get an experience of a lifetime. There will also be time for a technique session. After the runs we will return to the boat for “after-run” with a sauna and our woodfired bathtub in the evening. Dinner is served onboard each evening. As the days are long and bright in the north of Norway we also have the option of going for an evening run to enjoy the midnight sun.
