Percorso e dislivello

The course spans from Landmannalaugar through Hrafntinnusker mountain pass, Álftavatn, Emstrur, and finishes at Þórsmörk in the Myrdalssandur highlands. Runners navigate volcanic terrain, alpine plateaus, river crossings, and dramatic mountain passes featuring geothermal hot springs and glacial valleys.
