The Westfjords Way

In early September 2021, adventurer and photographer Chris Burkard traveled to Iceland to cycle an adapted version of the Westfjords Way, an incredible new touring route through some of Iceland’s most remote parts. Chris and his friends cycled over 1000km (650 miles) through winding fjords and remote villages in the super-scenic northwest corner of the country.

This summer, they are launching the first ever Westfjords Way Challenge – a five day Ultra Endurance Stage race around some of Iceland’s most remote and pristine wilderness. From June 28-July 3, riders will race a total of 930Km under endless sunlight through never ending fjords, world class gravel, and multiple hot springs.
