Taking place under the midnight sun, the non-stop relay race is the only one of its kind in #Iceland, often completed by the winning team in under 48 hours.
Teams can consist of four or ten riders, who cycle in a relay format non-stop for the entire route, followed by its support vehicle. There is also a solo category for individual cyclists.
Starting in Reykjavik, the route takes riders past Iceland's most stunning landscapes – glaciers, waterfalls, fjords, national parks, and volcanoes. There is an 18-mile gravel section on the route where a mountain bike is required.
As the main race sponsor, WOW Air awards flight tickets as prizes for each member of the winning female and male teams.
Open to cyclists of all abilities with a range of bike types, registration closes on May 1 and costs £395 (ISK70,000) for teams of four, £705 (ISK125,000) for teams of ten, and £170 (ISK30,000) for solo riders.
