About the Iceland Volcano Marathon
Iceland Volcano Marathon is a race-tour style marathon in the Lake Myvatn area of northern Iceland. The draw is the terrain: volcanic fields, geothermal ground, and scenery that makes pace secondary to the course.
Course
The marathon covers 42.195 km on a mix of gravel roads, soft paths, and asphalt. The route passes near Dimmuborgir and Hverfjall, so footing and exposure matter more than a flat road rhythm.
Race-day weather
Late June in northern Iceland can be cool, windy, and changeable even with long daylight. Runners should prepare for exposed sections, uneven footing, and weather that can shift during the race.
