In the Fire and Ice Ultra my aim was to create a course that incorporated many of the most spectacular environments I had seen in races all over the world,  at the same time bringing the unique, spectacular, remote and pristine Icelandic environment to your Feet

  • Start in the centre of the Icelandic Highlands

    At the Foot of the Volcano, close to the recent Bárðarbunga volcanic eruptions

  • Crossing Fields & Dunes of Black Volcanic Ash

    Cross the pristine volcanic Ash Fields, only Fire+Ice Ultra has permission to venture here.

  • Passing through the Hidden Valley

    Scramble through the hidden valley as you head towards the arctic circle.

  • Glacial river crossings in the Lava Fields

    2 river crossings leading you towards the most powerful waterfall in Europe.

  • Spectacular and Varied Icelandic Terrain

    A varied terrain of moon scapes to grassy meadows, the course has everything

  • Passing Boiling Mud Pools & Steam outlets

    Run through the volcanic steam vents on the way to camp next to volcanic hot springs.

    Competitors in great spirits as they cross the dramatic and varied terrain of the Lava field
