Whilst many soak up the excitement of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, a group of runners were claiming their victories far away on top of the world. On July 30th, 2024, a French icebreaker named after Commander Charcot, a celebrated captain of French polar expeditions and a 1900 Paris Olympic Games Silver Medallist, transported a group of international marathon runners to the geographic North Pole.

This was the second Summer Edition of the iconic North Pole Marathon, organised by Runbuk. The marathon began at 8:15 am Paris time on July 31st, on a floating ice floe approximately 2 meters (6.6 ft) thick, above the 4,261-meter (13,980 ft) deep Arctic Ocean.
