Report

The 35th edition of the race attracted more than 14,000 runners from Iceland and beyond. There are 4 distances to choose from - marathon, half marathon, 10k and fun run - and race day coincides with Culture Night (Menningarnótt), one of Iceland's most popular celebrations. The race starts and finishes at Tjörnin, a beautiful little lake in the centre of town, and follows the shoreline past Harpa Concert Hall and the famous Sun Voyager sculpture. Conditions were perfect - 12 degrees, glorious sunshine and a light breeze -, while the second half of the route proved to be less flat than expected. Enthusiastic support along the course, including locals banging pots and playing live music, and a lone shout of 'well done Serpie' at mile 6, helped make this a very friendly and fun event. The race goodies included beer and a voucher for free entry to the city's hot baths. Takk (N)Iceland, you made 3 Serpies very happy! (Report: Eda Korkmaz)
