Many Opportunities for People to Join In

Reykjavík Marathon has many categories including a fun run to cater different temperaments and preferences among athletes. Participants can select from full marathon, half marathon, 10K race, 3K fun run and children’s events as well. Thanks to this approach, so many people with different fitness levels can take part in the competition and that is what makes it a family event as opposed to only a marathon.

When it comes to experienced marathons , some are not fond to attempt the entirety of the 42.2 km stretch, many would go for the half marathon or the 10 k race as it allows one to cover most parts but not exert highly on the body. For those who would simply wish to jog around or simply walk at their own leisurely pace without the worries of any competition while enjoying the wonderful and exciting mood of events, the 3K fun run is perfect for them.
