  • Hallgrímskirkja is the largest church in Iceland.
  • Tjornin pond is located in the city center near the City Hall.
  • Harpa Concert Hall is known for its distinctive colored glass facade.

We've arranged a specially-crafted running tour for Iceland Volcano Marathon participants that you can book if you would like some sightseeing in Reykjavík and to stretch your legs before the big day. The relatively short distances, the fantastic sights, and the vibe of the city makes it perfect for sightseeing while running. Reykjavíc is the world's northernmost capital. It is also one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the world, making it hard to find a more crisp air to run through. 

We keep our tours very informal and run only in smaller groups, so there is plenty of time to ask questions about the sights, places, or people that we pass, or any other questions that you may have during the tour. The pace will be adjusted according to overall level of the participants, but you should expect between 5-6 minutes per kilometer.
