Iceland
RACE. RUN. HIKE. EXPLORE
The Menu
Reykjavik
Guests spend three nights in the colorful city of Reykjavik
at the Icelandair Marina Hotel. On Saturday, August 20, we
race the Marathon, Half Marathon or 10k. That evening,
Reykjaviks annual Culture Night takes place, where the
entire city comes alive with music, dancing and fun.
Blue Lagoon
The day after the marathon guests spend hours soaking in
the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon, where there is a swim
up bar serving smoothies and cocktails.
Volcano Huts
After basking in the Blue Lagoon, guests will be transported
to the Volcano Huts to sleep amidst nature in the center of
Thorsmork National Park. Here we will run, hike and explore
for two precious days and nights.
The Menu
Vik
The black sand beaches and the three trolls are
phenomenally unique. Guests hike and explore for an
unforgettable day, and one night will be spent at the newly
built and well appointed Icelandair Vik Hotel.
Skaftafell
The glaciers at Skaftafell are a privilege to behold. Two nights
will be spent here at the base of these wild glaciers, in the
Skaftafell Hotel.
Glacier Lagoon
It is precisely as it sounds a lagoon filled with Glaciers.
From Skaftafell we drive to the lagoon for a day of hiking and
ice cave exploration.
