The Arctic has stood frozen for millennia.

Now the polar bears need your help to survive.

Join the Arctic Circle Virtual Challenge and help protect one of the most endangered species on Earth.

5% of your entry supports polar bear conservation through the WildLife Foundation and their partner, Polar Bears International.

Get active and virtually explore the remote icy wilds of Norway, where polar bears, narwhals, and Arctic foxes still roam free.

At the final reward? A frosty medal, with a removable Beluga whale tag you can clip to your keys.

Built for life on ice, polar bears are powerful, curious, and deeply vulnerable to a warming world.

Through a partnership with Polar Bears International, the WildLife Foundation supports programs that:
  • Track how moms and cubs are adapting
  • Educate Arctic communities
  • Driving global action on climate threats
Every sign-up helps fuel research and outreach that gives polar bears a fighting chance.

Help the environment

We will donate toward planting a tree or stopping 10 bottles from entering the ocean for every 20% of the challenge you complete.

There's no extra work or cost for you — just make sure you keep exercising!

By the end of the challenge, you will have planted 5 trees or have stopped 50 bottles from entering the ocean. Imagine what we can achieve as a community!

So far, we have planted over 7 million trees and stopped the equivalent of 14 million plastic bottles from reaching the ocean.
