ICELAND LAUGAVEGUR ULTRA MARATHON.
The "Laugavegur" course is one of the most beautiful in Iceland, stretching from Landmannalaugar in the highlands to Thorsmork, a natural reservation area. The area is famous for the yellow, orange and purple hues of the surrounding mountains. The race blazes a trail through moss fields, meadows of wool grass, steam springs, and bizarre lava formations, where various blossoms defy the raw climate.
The race ends at Thorsmork, described as Iceland's brightest pearl, surrounded by rugged mountains and beautiful glaciers.
