Myvatn Half Marathon

\u00deingeyjarsveit, Iceland 31 May, 2025

Set in one of Iceland’s most stunning geothermal regions, the Mývatn Half Marathon is an otherworldly race experience like no other. The course winds through the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Mývatn, a volcanic lake known for its lava fields, hot springs, and dramatic scenery.

This remote race is a hidden gem for runners looking for something unique. The rolling hills, crisp Arctic air, and lack of city noise make for a peaceful yet challenging experience, with every step offering views of bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and towering volcanic craters.

After the race, runners can soak in the Mývatn Nature Baths, a naturally heated geothermal spa similar to the Blue Lagoon but with fewer crowds, making for a perfect post-race recovery. If you’re looking for an adventure-filled race with jaw-dropping scenery, the Mývatn Half Marathon is an absolute must.
