Arctic Running

Midnight sun run on polar day in Iceland

Running at midnight, and enjoying the sun shine, at the same time! That is a unique experience you can get from an annual event in Iceland to mark the polar day.

Running in Reykjavik - January 2018

Ever wondered what it's like to go running in Iceland during the Winter? Mel takes you along the coast of the world's Northern-most capital city Reykjavik. Feel inspired by the freezing, half lit beauty of arctic running in the New Year.

AERIAL Iceland - Drone tour below the arctic circle - Reykjavik

Highlights include The Church of Hallgrimur in Reykjavik, a lonely bridge heading south, the Strokkur geyser and Gullfoss Waterfall. Highly recommend visiting this gorgeous country just south of the Arctic Circle.

runICELAND 2018 I 5 days running across Iceland --- Island I Golden Circle I September 2018

RunICELAND is a five-day stage race and trailrunning adventure taking place on the island of fire and ice - Iceland!

The race runs along the southern coastal and highland part of the icelandic ring road and consists of five very different stages from 17 to 42 km length in magnificent landscapes, including multiple after-run activities like visiting famous waterfalls, glacier lagoons and black sand beaches.

RunICELAND is not tough because of its length or elevation gains, but due to the ever-changing icelandic weather going from hot and sunny to ice-cold and rainy with superhigh winds. It's a challenge even for fit and experienced runners as there are no aid stations and the whole race is self-sufficient (apart from one station at the marathon day).

Iceland and the race locations are one of a kind and full of diversity and stunning beauty and there are so many places worth a visit along the route that we can highly recommend anybody to go and see by themself - but now HAVE FUN WATCHING! :-)

Life Of A Snowmobile Guide In Iceland (2019) - Mardís

Taking a snowmobile onto a glacier can be a challenging experience, and that’s why people like Mardís the snowmobile tour guide exist. We spent a few days with her, getting to know who she is and what her job entails. Don’t be surprised if you come away from watching this video with ​greater respect for Icelandic tour guides of every stripe.
