Siberian Black Ice Race 2012

Racers from Russia to America will make history at Midday on March 17th 2012 and begin the World's First Multi-Discipline Race across Lake Baikal, Siberia.

Lake Baikal is the World's oldest and deepest ice lake and billed as 'the World's most terrifying lake' with an eerily spooky covering of black tormented ice. In the World's most ancient and beautifully remote city of Irkutsk, competitors will compete in an entirely new category of endurance racing; competing in either the 379 mile marathon or the 155 mile sprint using a range of non-motorised forms of transport such as bike, ski, foot, skates and kite-ski they will have to be self-sufficient on the ice with temperatures as low as -40 degrees C and winds of up to 100km/h.

It is going to test even the toughest...
