Sports events Iceland

Take advantage of the fresh Icelandic air to take part in this international race that takes place every year. Various courses are offered: the marathon itself, the half marathon, a 10 km race for adults, and races of 600 metres and 3 kilometres for the younger ones. Enough to make the whole family run! Moreover, given the number of participants, it seems to see the entire population of the country running! Good to know: the marathon takes place on the same day as the Night of Culture with many free celebrations.

Located in the north of the country, the volcanic lake Mývatn is appreciated by tourists... but also by sportsmen with this great annual event. Every year, the shores of the eponymous lake welcome sportsmen and women for either a 10 km, a half-marathon or a marathon. Thus, all levels are welcome to enjoy this unique event! The terrain is flat and paved, so it would be a shame to miss out on a great opportunity to indulge in your favourite sport in such a wonderful setting. Good to know: the price includes access to the Mývatn baths.

Notice to sportsmen! Usually, the Landmannalaugar is a very popular playground for hikers. During the Laugavegur Ultra Marathon, it becomes the favourite place for traileurs. Thus, this 55 km trail, which follows the route of the famous Landmannalaugar-Þórsmörk hike, takes place every year in mid-July. Please note that this trail is only for experienced sportsmen and women with a height difference of 1,380 metres and a height difference of 1,800 metres. Impressive.
