Final few places for Siberian Black Ice Race at £1250

Siberia, March 2012… the infamous Lake Baikal for the world’s most terrifying race and the challenge of a lifetime

Race the world’s oldest and deepest lake in Siberia this March and take on the world’s finest adventure athletes… are you ready for the challenge?

Tony Martin, CEO of EWR, describes the race as ‘Longer than England, colder than vodka and harder than granite’.

EWR announces today your last chance to guarantee a place on the world’s first, multi-discipline ‘Siberian Black Ice Race’ across Lake Baikal - the ultimate winter endurance event at a last minute rate of just £1,250 for the first 25 applicants only. The official closing date for final received payment is Tuesday, January 31. This includes a Trans Siberian Express finale for all Marathon entrants* (*terms and conditions apply.)

Availability is strictly limited–flights, VISAs and accommodation are not included. Please see www.extremeworldraces.com or call 01285 860 440 for further information and help in arranging any aspect of your trip.

To compete, you must be self-sufficient on the ice with temperatures as low as -40 degrees C and winds of up to 200km/h and can choose between either the 155 mile ‘Sprint’ or 379-mile ‘Marathon’ by bike, ski, foot, kite-ski and kite buggy.

Taking place on the world’s oldest and deepest ice lake in March 2012 and billed as ‘the world’s most terrifying race’, over the course of three weeks you will have the opportunity to conquer this unique tormented lake…

Start your journey in the ancient Cossack city of Irkutsk and compete in one of the world’s most beautiful wildernesses. This is an entirely new category of endurance racing and your chance to experience the unique challenge of racing on ice in Siberia.

Once finished, you will have the opportunity to complete your Siberian experience with a memorable journey on the legendary Trans-Siberian Express* (* for Marathon entrants). As the longest and most iconic rail journey in the world, the Trans-Siberian is one of the great adventures in travel.
