20th – 25th January 2027

Take on the adventure of a lifetime in January 2027 and trek through the breathtaking Arctic wilderness, all while raising vital funds for The Joshua Tree. This is your chance to push your limits, experience the magic of the Arctic, and make a real difference to families affected by childhood cancer.

On this unique challenge you will travel to Rovaniemi in Finland and spend three days trekking into the Arctic Circle. This Arctic trek is not for the faint-hearted. You’ll be pulling all of your own kit in a pulk, battling the elements, and sleeping in tents in one of the most incredible landscapes on earth.

Despite the challenge, participants consistently describe it as “the best challenge ever.”

You’ll make friends for life, take home memories that no pictures can truly capture, and forever impress people with the line:
“When I was in the Arctic…”

What’s Included?

The total cost per person is £2,750, which covers:

• Flights to and from Finland
• Accommodation throughout your journey
• Daily breakfast & evening meals
• Expert guides to lead you through the Arctic terrain
• Airport transfers

A Life-Changing Experience
