27 Jun 2026 - Race Day!
The Iceland Volcano Marathon is on today!
The route is going to be a challenge, but don't forget about the weather either. Although we are in Iceland during the summer months, the temperature is unlikely to rise above 15 degrees Celsius, and might be accompanied by rain. Though the scenery is just as majestic, no matter there is sun or rain.
As you reach the finishing line, we are going to celebrate your victory with a pizza lunch. And afterwards, you are going to return to your hotels via shuttle buses.
After a celebratory dinner of your own, as an option, you can join us for the Jarbodin Nature Baths in Mývatn for a relaxing end to the day, soaking in the restorative natural waters.
Meals : Breakfast, Pizza lunch
28 Jun 2026 - Relaxation, Optional Excursions & Celebration Dinner
Today is your day to celebrate your victory! Take the day to relax at your leisure or consider signing up for one of our optional excursions. Please note that you can only participate in one excursion on this day.
In the evening, we will come together—runners, supporters, and organizers—to celebrate all of your achievements with a festive dinner.
Meals: Breakfast, Celebration Dinner
29 Jun 2026 - Farewell Iceland
