Want to run with a friend (or friends)?
Those who want to be in the same starting group must register together in the system. Runners who register together will be placed in the same group, but the actual placement in starting groups will be based on ITRA points. For example, if two runners register together, the lower ITRA score will be used to determine group placement.
Processing of applications
After the application deadline, ÍBR employees review the ITRA runners' General performance index by running together the ITRA database and the Laugavegur race registration system to confirm that all runners have 370 ITRA performance Index or higher. A set number of places in the race will go to the runners with the highest ITRA points. Other valid application is given a randomly generated lottery number. These numbers are generated by an ÍBR staff member and a representative of the FRÍ Long-Distance Running Committee, and the lottery draw is then made from these applications.
Payment arrangements
During the registration process, you can choose to pay the participation fee with all major types of payment cards and/or a gift certificate. After registration, the person will be sent an email to confirm the registration. If you do not receive mail, your registration has not been successful.
Payment on the participation fee
Runners who are not assigned a registration on November 25th and go on a waiting list will have their card refunded by December 3rd.
* ÍBR charges an administration fee when processing the application of those who enter the race, this is part of the registration fee. This part of the fee is non-refundable (for those who enter the race).
Cancelling and Refund
If you want to request a refund you will need to send us an e-mail to info@marathon.is. We will need your full name and address to confirm that you are not taking part. Those participants that cancel their registration will not be able to get the race package. We encourage everyone that decides later on not to take part to let us know.
