RUN! It’s good for the soul!
August 20
IThe marathon starts and ends at Lækjargata
Registration is from 1650 ISK (3 km) to 10.732 ISK (marathon).
www.marathon.is
Each year, thousands of professional and amateur runners, from more than 30
countries around the world, come to Reykjavik to participate in the city's marathon,
which coincides with the popular Cultural Night. But aspiring runners have a num-
ber of events to choose from: there's a marathon (42,2 km), a half marathon, a relay
race, a 10 km run, and a 3 km Fun Run. It starts and finishes on Lækjargata, located
in the centre of Reykjavík. In addition, kids can participate in the Lazy Town Run,
which takes place in Hljómskálagarður, the park near Tjörnin pond.
Though the 100,000 ISK first prize award is definitely something to strive for, just
placing in a marathon is a reward in itself. If the 60 year old writer Haruki Murakami
is running marathons, are you going to tell us you’re not up for it? Join in the fun,
even if it's just for a couple kilometres—it's good for the soul.
Oh, and registration comes with a t-shirt, a rented chip for timing, a bib number,
a medal for finishers, powerade drinks, AND free admittance to the geothermal
baths and pools in Reykjavík.
