Latest news from the Laugavegur trail is that there is are solid layers of snow 3-4 km before and after the highest peak, Hrafntinnusker. Signs in this area are also under snow but we will put out orange flags along the way so no one should get lost. Because of the snow and that the weather in Iceland is very unpredictable we ask all runners to be well prepared and take winter running clothing with them to Iceland.

Participants in the 2018 Laugavegur Ultra Marathon have been split up into four start groups. The groups will start the race with five-minute intervals. By doing this, we hope to improve the accuracy of finish times and to reduce congestion both at the beginning of the race where the path is narrow and also at the drink stations along the course.
