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.

The participation conditions for the Laugavegur Ultra Marathon 2023 are 370 ITRA performance Index. It´s important that everybody look at their ITRA profile on itra.run. If the demand exceeds the supply of seats in the race, there will be lottery. All valid applications will receive a random number. The allocation of random numbers to applications is carried out by an ÍBR employee and a representative from the FRÍ long-distance running committee. The random numbers determine where the order of the application ends up.

If a runner does not have any ITRA performance index but does have UTMB Qualifying points, please contact us at info@marathon.is.

The applications that are NOT assigned a registration automatically go on a waiting list and determine the random number that the application received at the beginning, because where on the waiting list does the application end up. Thus, the application with the lowest random number is at the top of the waiting list. Runners are expected to be notified of the result of the application on Thursday November 17th, 2022.

 If the applicant does not intend to use the registration he has been allocated and paid for, he shall notify ÍBR by sending an e-mail to info@marathon.is. It is not possible to change the registration from one name to another, nor to transfer the registration to the next year.

ATTENTION

• Before March 1st runners will be able to receive 50% refund
• There is no refund for delisting after March 1st
• No more runners will be getting seat from the waiting list after April 3rd

Charity registration

Charity registrations will be offered. Part of the participation fee goes to charity specified by the runner in the application. Charity registration will open on Thursday December 1st at 12:00 (noon (GMT)).
