Report

For a Capital city marathon Reykjavik’s is not the biggest in the world, but unlike London or Paris for that matter it is run in conjunction with a Half Marathon, 10k and 7k and 3k fun runs. This diversification of events allows in some cases three generations of the same family to participate in either the same run or different runs.
The races themselves are held on a Saturday, with the marathon starting at 11.00am, the 7k and 3k fun runs at noon and the 10k and Half Marathon at 12.10pm. The majority of the marathon field is made up of overseas competitors which was again the case this year out of the 238 competitors taking the starting line.
The cost of entering either of the races includes the pasta party which is held on the Friday Night, when you also pick up your race numbers for the following day.
I had decided to run the Half Marathon and decided to treat it as a slow training run ( no problems there !!). On the other hand Lynne Prestegar and Zoe Gulliver who had been training together in preparation for the marathon were rewarded for their hard work, when they finished 2nd and 4th Ladies respectively in the marathon, both smashing their personal bests in the process.
