What is the Polar Challenge?

The Polar Challenge is a 350-mile race on skis to the Magnetic North Pole pulling 65kg sledges. The Pioneer PolarKAT team will be competing in the High Artic, which is a hostile, unfamiliar environment with temperatures reaching as low as -60 degrees. As you can imagine this is arguably the toughest and most extreme challenge on earth.

Pioneer is delighted to be sponsoring the PolarKAT team. The Pioneer PolarKAT team consists of Sharyn Brown, Bill Norton and Ian Wilson. Pioneer will give you daily updates on the Pioneer PolarKAT teams so you can track their progress.

The Pioneer PolarKAT Team adopt Snowy the Polar Bear. Will the team spot her along the way?
