The race at a glance

Route and elevation

The Marathon Runners Association announces Reykjavík Spring Marathon for Saturday, April 24, 2027. It organizes separate spring and autumn races, each offering a marathon and half marathon, independently of the larger August Íslandsbanki Reykjavík Marathon.

  • The spring marathon date is April 24, 2027.
  • The same organizer also lists the completed October 10, 2026 autumn event.
  • Marathon and half-marathon entries must be distinguished within the spring programme.

Race guide

Choose the spring race, not the autumn or August Reykjavík event

The official homepage contains two seasonal event panels. Its spring panel explicitly gives April 24, 2027, while the autumn panel still shows October 10, 2026. Use the spring panel for this guide and check the race name in any registration link; an autumn entry button does not establish a spring booking.

The organizer describes a smaller event rooted in Reykjavík’s local marathon-running community, with full and half distances. That differs from the August city marathon with its own organizer, expo and course arrangements. Do not borrow the August event’s start street, cutoff or packet-collection hours for this race.

The available homepage does not establish a complete 2027 full-distance course, start time or aid schedule. Prepare a consistent marathon base while waiting for the distance-specific instructions, then compare the actual map with your recent training. The city name alone does not prove that two Reykjavík marathons use the same route or number of laps.

The site links videos from older spring editions. They can help you understand the event’s scale, but they cannot confirm current route access or support. Before travel, verify the named spring entry, the exact collection and starting locations, and how to return after finishing. Use the current Icelandic forecast close to the race rather than assuming April conditions match the August event. Check that every saved map and email names the spring event and the full distance.
