AN AMAZING, EPIC ADVENTURE
The Icarus Trophy and Icarus X Series are a whole new breed of air race that has taken participants on epic journeys across the globe and created one of the greatest bucket list experiences possible for any pilot. It's man and paramotor vs the skies. The mother of all aerial gauntlets flying in extraordinary off-grid locations. The ultimate test of pilot skill and endurance. It’s can be brutal, epic, and awe-inspiring in equal measure, but at the same time a lesson in airmanship, endurance, lasting friendships, and adventure.

Icarus RACE Management
Supported by Parajet
Originally created by The Adventurists in 2014, the Icarus Trophy and shorter Icarus X Series of weekend events are now run independently and on a not-for-profit basis from 2021 onwards. The goal of the next phase is to increase participation and allow even more paramotor pilots to experience long-distance aerial adventure racing. The Icarus Trophy and Icarus X Series events are organised by an updated experienced and professional race team and will continue to be supported by Parajet and other partners.
