Icebug, the Swedish footwear brand, will be hosting the third edition of the annual Icebug Xperience, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. The race takes place in Bohuslän, a province in western Sweden, and is an opportunity for participants to explore 75 kilometers of the Swedish coastal landscape during three days, covering around 20-30 kilometers per day. The event is open to both competitive trail runners and walkers. Participants walk and/or run through a variety of terrains and scenery, from granite coastline to tranquil forests and open fields. Every day of the race begins and ends with local Swedish food. For the sake of environmental sustainability, most of the race follows existing coastal paths and trails.
