About the Race

This is an easy mountain trail course for all runners and fast hikers. The two loop race takes you to a landmark near the top of the mountain. Approximately 200 from the top, there's a point marked with a big rock called "Steinn" where you will have extraordinary views of the capital and surrounding areas.
