In the relay race, prizes will be awarded for the top three places
The race course
The Reykjavík Marathon offers a unique racing experience in the heart of the capital, where the sea, city and paths create a magnificent setting. The swim takes place at Skarfabakki in a well-defined area with short laps close to land. The bike ride is on a fast and flat course on Sæbraut, where competitors enjoy panoramic sea views and good asphalt almost the entire way. The running route runs along paths along the sea, past Harpa and around the harbor area, where spectators can follow the competitors at many points. The course is extremely fast and is suitable for both those aiming for personal success and those who want to enjoy competing in a vibrant city environment.
Swim
There are three buoys in the sea that form a 500-meter circle. Swim three laps, a total of 1500m
Bike
The race is held on a fast and flat course along the Reykjavík coastline, where the sea views and the urban environment make their mark on the race. The route runs from the interchange at Skarfabakki along Sæbraut towards Harpa and from there back to the turning point at Kleppsvegur. The circuit is cycled five times on good asphalt, which offers a steady speed and good opportunities to keep up the pace. The course is almost entirely flat, making it ideal for those who want to achieve good times on the bike and also enjoy a unique view of Faxaflói and the city.
Run
Hlaupaleið Reykjavíkurþrautarinnar er hröð og skemmtileg og liggur meðfram sjónum og hafnarsvæði í hjarta Reykjavíkur. Frá skiptisvæðinu við Skarfabakka er hlaupið að vitanum við Skarfaklett og þaðan meðfram Sæbraut í átt að Hörpu. Leiðin fer framhjá einu helsta kennileiti borgarinnar áður en hlaupið er um svæðið við Hörpu og Landsbankahúsið og síðan sömu leið til baka. Brautin er nánast öll á góðum göngu- og hjólastígum, með aðeins um 20 metra samanlagðri hækkun á 10 km leið. Áhorfendur geta fylgst með keppendum á mörgum stöðum á leiðinni og skapað frábæra stemningu allt til marksins við skiptisvæðið.
