The Fire and Ice Ultra in Iceland is certainly a very special race. Not only for the challenge it will pose to those participating, but also for the incredible raw and extreme beauty of the Icelandic environment in which the event takes place.

The 250km 7 day stage race starts on Europe's Largest Glacier (The Vatnajokull Glacier), then winds its way North through Iceland's most extreme and remote landscape, taking in Black Sand Plains, rugged Lava Fields, Volcanic Mountains, Bubbling Mud pools, exploding Geysers, passing through the spray of Europe's most powerful Waterfall and finally crossing over the continental divide between North America and Europe…

…… and on Day 5, a special surprise for everyone.

It is a race that truly has it all.
