Iceland Volcano Marathon 2027
6 Days 5 Nights Package：30 June - 5 July 2027
30 Jun 2027 Welcome to Iceland!
Welcome to Keflavík International Airport (KEF) in Reykjavík. As there is no set arrival time, you can book the flight that is most suitable for you.
Note that transportation from Keflavík to Reykjavík is not included in this package. Airport shuttle buses or taxi providers are available at the arrival hall.
The rest of the day is at your leisure. A tour to the Golden Circle with Tingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss is available to book for ones arriving in the morning or early afternoon. See Package Add-ons for more information.
A pre-night on 29 June in Reykjavík is also possible to book if you would like more time to explore the capital. See more under Pre- & post-nights.
01 Jul 2027 The Scenic West Coast & Akureyri
We'll start day two with an early hotel breakfast before we board the bus for a drive along the scenic west coast of the country with a knowledgeable guide ready to tell us all about Iceland.
We reach Akureyri in the afternoon, and will have a couple of hours to explore the city center before we continue to Mývatn to check into our hotel.
NOTE: It is possible to de-select the bus transfer from Reykjavik to Mývatn and return if you prefer to rent your own car in Iceland. See more under Important Info - Self Driving.
02 Jul 2027 Mývatn Route Highlights & Race briefing
Have a peek at the marathon route today through our Mývatn Highlights tour. We are taking you to spots such as the ancient lava formations of Dimmuborgir, the majestic Hverfjall crater, and the bubbling grey puddles at Hverir solfataras.
During the tour we stop for the race briefing delivered by our race officials. Here you will receive your race pack, meet the other runners, and be able to ask questions to the officials team.
In the evening, a pasta dinner prepared at the hotel awaits you for carb loading, ready for the Race Day tomorrow!
03 Jul 2027 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. But the scenery will be majestic, no matter if there is sun or rain.
As you reach the finish 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 Earth Lagoon Nature Baths in Mývatn for a relaxing end to the day, soaking in the restorative natural waters.
04 Jul 2027 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.
In the evening, we will come together—runners, supporters, and organizers—to celebrate all of your achievements with a festive dinner.
05 Jul 2027 Farewell Iceland
We are reaching the end of our adventure today, as the morning bus drives us back south to Reykjavík for Keflavík International Airport (KEF). The expected arrival time is 14:30. Hence, it is not advisable to book your flight out of Iceland earlier than 16:30.
It is possible to book a post-night in Reykjavík if your flight connection doesn't match today, or you would like to further explore Iceland on your own.
The bus going to Keflavik Airport departs from Mývatn at 06:00. Another bus departs from Mývatn at 08:30 for those who have a post-night or wish to be dropped off in Reykjavik city instead of Keflavik Airport.
