The last weekend before the winter closing of Icehotel, the hotel's 5500 square meter art exhibition is transformed into a unique obstacle course race, with specially designed challenging elements of made of ice and snow.

Toughest ICE was and is still unmatched in the world in specialized OCR events. After releasing the video from the race both runners and journalists from all over the world literarily spammed us with request on next race.
