Produced by Fuego y Agua Events LLC, Ultramaratón Fuego y Agua is an extremely challenging set of foot races on Isla de Ometepe in Nicaragua. The race is composed of four different event options, the 25k, 50k ultramarathon 100k ultramarathon and the Application only 70k obstacle course. The 100k course is a single loop encompassing most of the island and involves the ascent and descent of both volcanoes. The 25k and 50k courses cover part of the 100k course. The course changes every year and is a surprise. Because of the volcanoes, the island holds several microclimates of jungle, dry tropics, tropical beach, and cloud forest. The race course winds through singletrack, dirt road and sand as it passes towns, villages, coffee, cocoa bean and banana plantations, cloud forest, volcanic trail and white sand beaches. The race begins with a pre-race meal the night before and ends with a post-race awards banquet.
