Schedule
Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 17:30.
Distances
10 km and 5 km with timing, and a 3 km fun run without timing. Distances are measured by certified officials. The start is staggered: first the 10 km runners, then the 5 km, and finally the 3 km.
Route and location
The route is the so-called Bessastaðir route – see map below and description here.
The run begins at the bus shelter on Fjarðargata opposite the Sports Hall (Strandgata). The course follows the walking path past Norðurbakki towards the Swimming Hall, runs parallel to Herjólfsgata as far as the path allows, all the way past Hrafnista, Herjólfsbraut, and up to the old Álftanes road. There, runners turn left (west) onto the old Álftanes road, continue to the underpass beneath the new Álftanes road, to a sign pointing toward the bird reserve, where the turnaround point will be located. From there, the course follows the same path back down to Fjarðargata. A water station will be located midway for those running 10 km.
