About the Iceman Series 2026-27
The Iceman Series is a winter points competition built around a progression of races, capped by a standalone half marathon event. Each race offers a shorter and longer distance option, and the points system rewards both participation and finishing position within age groups. The races are spread across several weeks, giving runners a reason to keep training through the cold months rather than targeting one single event.
Every race begins and finishes at a local restaurant or bar, so there is somewhere warm to land after your run. A small food-and-drink coupon is part of registration, good at the post-race venue. Runners who join the full series pick up their bonus gear at the first event.
