The Fast Lane
Runners come to the Reykjavik Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Reykjavik has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
Running in the Dark
Starting under cover of darkness gives the Reykjavik Marathon an atmosphere unlike any daytime race. Headlamps pierce the night, the temperature drops, and the usual visual landmarks of a marathon disappear — leaving nothing but the rhythm of footsteps and the glow of the finish line ahead.
Running Under the Midnight Sun
In August, Reykjavik gets nearly 20 hours of daylight. The marathon runs through a landscape of volcanic rock, ocean views, and air so clean it burns. The otherworldly light and stark beauty make runners feel like they're racing on another planet entirely.
