Arctic Winter Games 2016, starter allerede om et halvt år. I den anledning, holdte AWG2016 en generalprøve i søndags, hvor op mod 1000 mennesker mødte op, i Nuuks bymidte. Vejret var kedeligt, overskyet med regn. Men det holdte ikke de mange deltagere, fra at gøre generalprøven til en spændende og sjov event!
Folk mødte op glade og med højt humør, med god musik i baggrunden.
Optoget startede i Nuuk centrum, hvor de frivillige blev delt op i de repræsenterede lande, som skal deltage til Arctic Winter Games i marts 2016.

Et Join Feel Jump billede blev taget, da alle deltagerne var samlet. Op mod 1000 deltagere, hoppede på samme tid mens musikken lød i bagrunden.
Derfra gik de mod kultur huset Katuaq og videre op til Inussivik. Folk var glade og hilste på alle de mødte på deres vej.
I Inussivik blev tema sangen for AWG2016 præsenteret på storskærm. Temasangen ”We Are The Arctic”, blev lavet af grønlandske pop/rock gruppe Small Time Giants. Alle deltagerne tog rigtig godt imod sangen, og klappede lystent med.
Deriblandt var der også underholdning, i form af strubesang og trommer. Der var fed stemning og højt humør, hele eventet igennem.
Derudover blev der overrakt præmier, til vinderne af lodtrækningen af alle deltagere. Præmierne var blandt andet, sportstasker fra GrønlandsBanken, en kurv fra Mentorix, gavekort til Pisiffik, AWG merchandise fra Torrak Fashion, Bose høretelefoner, Ipad Mini og Iphone 6+.
