Gullspretturinn is your perfect excuse to come play outside around Laugarvatn, in the heart of Bláskógabyggð in South Iceland 🏞️.
Here, the star of the show is nature : trails that wind between shores, gentle hills, and wide-open horizons, with that little whiff of adventure that makes you smile even when it stings a bit 😉.
You run along the Lake Laugarvatn, take a breath of air that wakes everything up, and let yourself be carried by the festive vibe: people come to push themselves, but also to share, laugh, and head home with stories in their shoes 🎉.
And since I’m your local guide, I’ll slip you the perfect post-effort plan: head to Laugarvatn Fontana to soak in the hot water, then take a stroll to the viewpoint by the lake to wind down gently 🌋.
If you’re staying in the area a bit, treat yourself: take a detour to Þingvellir (just nearby), head over to the Geysir area for a jaw-dropping dose of nature, or stop for a photo at Gullfoss, which more than lives up to its name… it’ll put stars in your eyes ✨.
You come for a race, you leave with a mini-trip: lakes, good vibes, and that rare feeling of having run to the ends of the earth without ever being alone.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
