2026 Ring Of Fire Wrapped
Jermaine JJ Ricketts won the 8-mile 2026 Ring Of Fire with a time of 01:09:13.2 shaving 5 seconds off his 2024 time when he had a downhill sprint finish with Sam Thompson. Peter May was second, 10 minutes and 50 seconds (01:21:59.6) behind – but only had the small hills of Virgin Gorda to train on! Vance De-Vaney (01:21:59.6) was hot on his tail, finishing 49 seconds behind. Rosmond Johnson topped the ladies with a time of 01:34:49.2, with Juliane Potgieter (01:35:32.0) nipping at her heels a scant 43 seconds behind her. Margy Church was third in 01:39:04.6.

Say What?
A screaming hot adventure through the winding roads of Tortola Island. The steep ascents and descents combined with the beautiful blue water views will leave you breathless. This is a bucket list race that will be one you will remember for the rest of your life!
If you consider yourself a runner of any distance from 5k to ultra this race needs to be on your radar for next year. Vacation in Tortola, go on a once in a lifetime run around the island, then spend the rest of the day celebrating at the finish line. A destination race that can’t be topped.
After that easy 10, the race begins a series of relentless, incredibly steep, and constant series of climbs and descents, that systemically squash your soul. And, this goes on until the very last mile.
It was probably the best organised race that I have ever ran anywhere in the world.
