Reykjavik Marathon 2010
The 27th Reykjavik Marathon takes place Saturday 21 August in Iceland's capital city.
Over 700 participants from abroad have already signed up and couple of thousand from Iceland. Needless to say, some people were reluctant to sign up in May and June due to the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The volcano's name proved difficult for foreign news media professionals to pronounce. Some took a shortcut and just called it “The volcano”.
The inhabitants of Reykjavik and the whole of Iceland are very excited about the Reykjavik Marathon and Culture night which takes place on the evening of the Reykjavik Marathon. It is just perfect to run a marathon in the morning, rest, and enjoy free museums, music and fireworks in the evening.
Reykjavik Bike Tours departs at 10 AM as usual from Reykjavik‘s Old Harbour, next to Elding Whale Watching company, but there will be no scheduled evening departure. Private tours in Iceland are available HERE upon request.
