Be a force of nature! Join this epic race in one of Earth’s geological hotspots.
Set near Lake Mývatn, at the divergent boundaries of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the Iceland Volcano Marathon route will be run directly in the North Volcanic Zone. It’s a hot bed of geothermal activity with geysers, hot springs, and lava rock!
With the massive Hverfjall crater as the focus of the route, runners will pass through soft, black volcanic sand the route traverses single-track trail, plains of lava rock, and several minor volcano craters.
Whether you’re up for the full marathon, half marathon, or quarter marathon, there’s a challenge waiting for you. Join this unparalleled adventure that seamlessly blends your love for running with a profound immersion in nature. Mark your calendars and start the countdown until you find yourself amidst the surreal landscapes of Iceland.
Iceland is a land of striking contrasts and raw natural beauty. From thundering waterfalls and steaming geysers, to vast lava fields and shimmering glaciers, the island feels otherworldly.
Despite its rugged terrain, Iceland is home to a close-knit population of around 400,000 people, whose culture is deeply rooted in Nordic traditions. Whether you’re exploring the vibrant arts and culture scene of Reykjavik or racing through its lava fields in the countryside, Iceland offers an unforgettable blend of natural wonders and active urban life.
