“It’s hard to tell what we like best: To indulge in our favorite running or trekking during three days or to share the unique experience with old and new friends.
Good thing we can have both – and top it with sampling some of the finest local food and beverages. Come join us for 3 days and 75 km (or so) of spectacular archipelago trail in our backyard playground Bohuslän, also known as one of the most beautiful places in the world”. David Ekelund – CEO of Icebug

The Swedish western archipelago is always something special – exploring it by foot is close to magic. At Icebug Xperience, we offer 75 kilometers in the most beautiful surroundings you could ever imagine. During three days, you will cover some of the greatest trails Sweden has to offer. Walk or run – you choose. Either way, you will have the best days of your life.

DAY 1 – 24K: Start the day with 8 kilometers along the sea on the red-colored granite cliffs of Ramsvikslandet. Continue with some great narrow single tracks
through stunning mountains and forests before you finish the day with an awesome lunch at the pier in Smögen.

DAY 2 – 28K: Start the day with 8 kilometers along the sea on the red-colored granite cliffs of Ramsvikslandet. Continue with some great narrow single tracks through stunning mountains and forests before you finish the day with an awesome lunch at the pier in Smögen.
Start off with 11K around the cliffs of the famous island Bohus-Malmön. Have some refreshments on the short ferry trip back to the mainland, where you
will continue for another 17K of beautiful forests and gravel roads.

DAY 3 – 21K:  The last stage offers a varied landscape where you will pass the mountains of Hunnebostrand as well as the forest trails along the Sotenäs canal.
At the finish line at Ramsvikslandet, the sauna will be warm so you can finish the weekend with a swim in the ocean.

To visit Bohuslän in September is a unique experience. The summer tourists will be gone, but the weather will still be great for exercising. Expect between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius in the air and somewhere between 16 and 20 degrees in the water.Icebug Xperience is an event for the whole family. We provide what we call KIDZ CAMP, where experienced outdoor guides will take care of your children while you’re doing the stages. At the Kidz Camp, the youngest will do things like fishing crabs and building sand castles – while the older group will do things like climbing, geocaching and kayaking. Kidz Camp, while you’re out in the nature.

EXPERIENCE ALL YOUR SENSES
Most running and walking events only lasts one day but Icebug Xperience is a social event. Here, a lot of participants are staying at the same place to share experiences, memories and of course, some world class food and beverages. We want Icebug Xperience to be an event for all your senses. This means that we will provide you with the best food we can find.

All food is made by organic and locally produced ingredients.
And since we know that you get quite hungry after 25 kilometers by foot, we offer a huge buffet (breakfast and dinner) for you twice a day. The lunch will be served by food trucks at each finish line. Bon Appétit!
