Included in the general ticket

Join us for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland this August—where breathtaking nature, vibrant culture, and the power of movement come together. The 2026 Íslandsbanki Reykjavík Marathon and Culture Night (Menningarnótt) promise a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run, explore, and connect in one of the most stunning destinations on Earth.
 
 
1. The Event (August 21 -27)
 
The Reykjavík Marathon takes place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, right in the heart of Iceland’s capital. Runners can choose from a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 3K fun run, making this event perfect for all levels—from seasoned athletes to first-time racers. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or just enjoying the moment, you’ll be running through some of the most scenic and refreshing landscapes in Europe.
 
 
2. Global Participation
 
This international event welcomes over 16,000 participants, including more than 3,000 runners from 80+ countries. The route winds through Reykjavík’s coastal paths, riversides, parks, and iconic sites like the historic Höfði House. It’s a powerful reminder of how the love for running brings people together from across the globe.
 
 
3. Cultural Celebration: Menningarnótt
 
Reykjavík Culture Night, known as Menningarnótt, takes place the same day and transforms the entire city into a festive playground of music, art, food, and performances. After the run, enjoy street concerts, local crafts, delicious cuisine, and end the night with a fireworks show over the city skyline. It’s a magical way to celebrate your accomplishment and immerse yourself in Icelandic culture.
 
 
4. Benefits of Participation
 
With clean, crisp air and mild August temperatures averaging 14.5°C (58°F), Reykjavík offers ideal conditions for running. But the benefits go beyond the finish line: participants can raise money for charities through hlaupastyrkur.is, making every step more meaningful. You’ll leave with a sense of achievement, new friendships, and lifelong memories.
 
 
5. Run Together, Grow Together
 
Why go solo when you can make it a shared journey? Running with friends builds motivation, accountability, and camaraderie. You’ll train together, cheer each other on, and cross the finish line stronger—as a team. The bond you form through this shared experience is one you’ll carry far beyond race day.
 
 
6. One Ticket, Incredible Experiences
 
Your race registration is just the beginning. This trip is your chance to explore Iceland’s legendary natural beauty. Think:
•Towering waterfalls
•Jet-black sand beaches
•The icy sparkle of Diamond Beach
•Majestic glaciers
•Soothing geothermal waters at Blue Lagoon
 
Most of these iconic sites are part of the Golden Circle, making your sightseeing both efficient and unforgettable. With just one trip, you’ll check off two epic goals: running an international race and touring one of the world’s most awe-inspiring countries.
