About the Reykjavik Marathon
The Reykjavik Marathon offers a unique running experience through Iceland's stunning capital. Starting and finishing in the heart of the city, the course takes runners past iconic landmarks like Hallgrímskirkja church and along the picturesque coastline. With a relatively flat profile and cool temperatures, it's an excellent opportunity for a PR. The race coincides with the Reykjavik Culture Night, adding a festive atmosphere to the event. Participants can enjoy breathtaking views of mountains, lava fields, and the Atlantic Ocean while experiencing the warmth of Icelandic hospitality.
