Organised by the Marathon Runners Association (Félag maraþonhlaupara – FM), the event is known for a relaxed atmosphere and courses that stick to Reykjavik’s greenways and park paths, away from traffic. The marathon sets off at 09:00, and the half marathon at 11:00, both starting in Elliðaárdalur and touring some of the city’s most attractive running routes. It’s a grassroots alternative to the big summer marathon—ideal for a late-season goal amid crisp Nordic autumn weather.
