Running through the active volcanic area, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, the Iceland Volcano Marathon is a unique event! Runners go directly through the Northern Volcanic Zone in the north of Iceland during the very first edition of this marathon. The surroundings include geysers, black volcanic sand, glaciers and small volcanic craters. This geothermal area is still active to this day and offers the prospect of an experience never to be forgotten. The roads are not asphalted, so this can rightly be called an adventurous marathon. Is the marathon distance a little too long? Then you can also choose the half marathon!
