For many runners the Laugavegur Ultra Marathon is the most enjoyable race in Iceland. The course takes runners through areas of outstanding natural beauty at the same time as being a challenging course.
Hikers normally cover this distance in four days. The course is multi-terrain; sand, gravel, grass, snow, ice, rivers and streams.
The race is open to both men and women of 18 years old and up but note that there are time limits. Competitors must be in a very good physical shape to take part in this 55 km Ultra Marathon which under no circumstances is suitable for beginners.
