Kerlingarfjöll Ultra will take place on July 27. It is a new trail event and the first race ever held in Kerlingarfjöll, a region famous for its geothermal wonders and dramatic landscapes. Runners will journey through geothermal terrain, deep canyons, steep mountain peaks, and, of course, past Kerling herself—the legendary rock pillar that lends its name to these mountains.
Participants can choose from three distances that will lead them through this magnificent terrain: 12 km, 22 km and 63 km. The price includes food and drinks during the race, a gourmet feast after the competition, and access to the Highland Baths.
