About the Event

Confront the raw, elemental challenge that is Fuego y Agua on the legendary Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua, from March 6-8, 2026. This iconic ultra and trail running series pits you against the twin volcanoes—Concepción (Fire) and Maderas (Water)—on some of the most demanding and beautiful terrain on earth. Choose your test across a weekend of running: tackle the monstrous 100K with over 20,000ft of ascent across both peaks, the grueling 50K, or the intense 28K and 14K trail races. New for 2026, test your pure climbing power in the Vertical K up Volcán Concepción. Expect searing heat, technical jungle single-track, deep mud, and a spirit of adventure that borders on the mythical. More than a race, it's a pilgrimage for serious trail runners seeking a true, unfiltered challenge where meticulous preparation meets a primal landscape. This is where legends are forged, one volcanic step at a time.

About Isla de Ometepe

Isla de Ometepe's name is derived from the Nahuatl words ome (two) and tepetl (mountain), meaning two mountains. An island in Lake Nicaragua in the country of Nicaragua, Ometepe is one of the country's must-see places. This island composed of twin volcanoes provides a remote escape in the middle of Lago de Nicaragua - a tourist slogan often found on T-shirts for the island is "oasis of peace". There are two towns along with a few smaller settlements on the island, along with a number of small coffee plantations.
