Thorvaldsdalur Valley Terrain Run is the oldest terrain run in Iceland, held for the first time in 1994 and every year since. The run is held early July (first Saturday of July) each year in the Þorvaldsdalur Valley in northern Iceland (about 20 km north of Akureyri town). In 2023 it will be held on July 1st. The Þorvaldsdalur Valley is peculiar in the sense that it opens in both directions, in the south to Hörgárdalur Valley and to the north to Árskógsströnd on the west coast of Eyjafjördur fjord. The run starts by an old bridge between farm Fornhagi in Hörgárdalur Valley and Dagverðartunga at ca. 90 m above sea level. The finish line is close to Árskógsskóli school at about 60 m above sea level. The total distance is ca. 25 km. Time registration stops at 5:00 pm.
