Welcome! Come experience winter in Prince George in the 33rd Annual Prince George Iceman! This multi-sport event brings together winter pursuits, and showcases the city’s great recreation facilities. It’s a race for everyone from beginner to elite athletes, and includes both solo and relay team categories. The event is spectator-friendly, with many opportunities to cheer on participants at the Otway Nordic Centre, the Outdoor Ice Oval and the Aquatic Centre.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Iceman is comprised of 5 events. The day starts with an 8km cross-country ski at the Otway Nordic Ski Centre. Next, it\u2019s onto a 10km run from the Ski Centre along Otway Road, up Foothills Boulevard to the Outdoor Ice Oval. Next, you guessed it, it\u2019s a 5km skate (12 laps) around the Oval. Following the skate, there is 5km run heads south from the Oval to 22nd Avenue and then winds through the Pinewood subdivision and out to Ospika. The route then heads north on Ospika to 18th Avenue and west to the Aquatic Centre. Last but not least, is an 800m swim (yes, this part is indoors!). Junior competitors complete different distances (see below).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Glad you asked. There are lots of ways to be a part of this fabulous event. If you are 16 years old or older you can take the challenge to complete all 5 legs of the event as a soloist or compete as part of a team. If you want to experience the excitement of the event but aren\u2019t able to compete, we are always looking for people to join us to volunteer at package pick-up and on race day. Registration is at www.pgiceman.ca. Only online registrations will be accepted this year.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, however, you should ensure that you will be able to finish your leg on the first team with sufficient time to get to the transition for your second leg with the second team.

Parking at the Otway Nordic Centre is VERY limited and we like to minimize traffic on Otway Rd for the safety of our participants and volunteers. We strongly advise that you use the free shuttle bus, which goes between the Aquatic Centre and Otway every 20 minutes. The first bus leaves the Aquatic Centre at 8:20 a.m. and the last bus leaves Otway at 12:15. This is a great option for spectators too!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
