The Ultimate Ice Ultra Marathon. An Extreme Footrace Through Arctic Sweden.
A 230km self-sufficient ultra-marathon across the Arctic Circle. This is Swedish Lapland, Sweden. It’s Europe’s last remaining wilderness and heartland of the indigenous Sámi people. The Global Race Series is made up of four iconic extreme trail running events designed to test the resilience and endurance of any runner, and the ICE Ultra is its coldest.
Experiencing daytime temperatures as low as -40 degrees, you will battle across snowfields, Arctic tundra and frozen lakes. It’s both challenging and exposed, putting physical and mental endurance to a painful test.
Be ready to take on the conditions that the Arctic Circle can throw at you. As darkness descends, you will feel like the only person on the planet.
