Bear Runs

BEARS ON ICE 2019 – tickets now on sale

BEARS ON ICE is a four day men only event for bears and their gay, bi and trans friends from all around the world. It returns for 2019 from August 29th till September 1st.

Held in Iceland’s capital Reykjavik, the world’s most northerly capital city, BEARS ON ICE is a bear run with some unique differences. 

The bears in Iceland like to party but you’ll also get the opportunity to see a little bit of Iceland and it’s fascinating nature such as steaming hot geysers and Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall, the Golden waterfall.

Passes

Passes are now on sale priced at $399 for the full pass and $120 for the party pass. 

There is only a limited number of Full Event Passes that are valid for all the events and tours plus the BEARS ON ICE T-shirt. The Full Pass has sold out in recent years so make sure to get your pass now. 

The Party Passes are valid for all the parties and include the annual BEARS ON ICE T-shirt. 

You can also come along the individual parties but only the passes will give you VIP access at the entrance. Tickets for individual events will likely not be made available online until August 2019.
