Distance

10 km and 5 km timed, and a 3 km fun run untimed. The distances are measured by an accredited organisation. The race is staged in waves: the 10 km runners start first, followed by the 5 km, and finally the 3 km.

Running route and location

The starting line is at Flensborg School. From there, run up Selvogsgata and continue along Öldugata. Kaldárselvegur then takes over from Öldugata, and you run along it towards Hvaleyrarvatn. At the roundabout, you need to cross the road (Kaldárselvegur). Run through the underpass and alongside the stables, heading towards Hvaleyrarvatn.

• The 3 km run turns at the roundabout. There is no need to cross the road.
• The 5 km run turns on the path before the turning for Hvaleyrarvatn.
• The 10 km run runs past the turning for Hvaleyrarvatn and continues towards Helgafell.

Music and encouragement will be at all turning points, and refreshments will be available at the 5 km turning point.
