The Reykjavik Autumn Marathon

The Reykjavik Spring and Autumn Marathons have been around for 23 years, and the Autumn Marathon is the last big race in Reykjavik for the season. It takes place on the Saturday of the 26th week of summer, which also marks the start of the first winter month called the Gor-month. Although winter is approaching, this is often the most pleasant time of year with the arctic darkness, the occasional northern lights, and the conclusion of the main tourist season. The race is a small, intimate event that creates a friendly atmosphere. There is also the added bonus of delicious waffles with cream and jam, coffee, and chocolate served after the race. If you are looking for an adventure, this is the perfect opportunity to come to Iceland, take part in this amazing race, meet the people, and experience all that this island in the middle of the Atlantic has to offer.
