Description

As the crisp air of autumn descends upon Reykjavik, the Reykjavik Autumn Marathon marks the transition into winter with a race that resonates deeply with the Icelandic spirit. Held on the first day of winter, according to the old Nordic calendar, this event offers both a marathon and a half marathon, guiding runners through the scenic landscapes of Reykjavik. The course is relatively flat, providing an excellent opportunity for those seeking to achieve personal bests or simply savor the experience of running in one of the world's northernmost capitals.

Organized by the Marathon Runners Association (Félag maraþonhlaupara – FM), the event has a rich history spanning over 23 years, reflecting the deep-rooted running culture of Iceland. After the race, participants are traditionally treated to warm waffles with cream and jam, fostering a sense of community and celebration that lingers long after the finish line.
