60 km

The beginning is identical to that of the 22 km race. The run starts at the hotel in Kerlingarfjöll, heading into the magnificent and colorful Hveradalir geothermal area. After a 6 km run, the first aid station is located here. From there, the route ascends steep stairs and follows markers northward along Ásgarðsgljúfur canyon before turning east. It reaches a hiking trail beneath the majestic Loðmundur, continuing along the road into Setur. As the trail diverges from the road, after about 15 km, runners will find the second aid station.

The trail then winds through small canyons to Kisubotnaskáli, where the third aid station awaits at the 21 km mark. From there, the route descends into Kisubotnar and climbs up along the formidable Kisugljúfur canyon, passing under Draugafell and north of Grákollur, where the fourth water station is located.

Next comes another canyon, the magnificent Kerlingargljúfur, followed by a river crossing at Kerlingará. A long climb begins here, with Röðull on the left, leading up to Sléttaskarð between Ögmundur and Höttur, and down into Hverabotn. From there, the race continues through a steep ravine and climbs to Kerling itself, a 25-meter-high rock pillar on the side of Kerlingartindur, where the fifth and final aid station is located at 44 km.

The route then descends onto a gravel path beneath Skeljafell. Runners circle Skeljafell and ascend to the pass between Kerlingartindur and Skeljafell, crossing Tindabikkja and the Ásgarðsá river. From there, they traverse the rocky Ásgarðsöldur, descend Ásgarðshryggur, and arrive at the finish line by the bridge over Ásgarðsá, directly below the hotel.

At three drink stations, in Hveradalir, by Loðmundur, and at Klakksskáli, you can find water, energy powder, bananas, pretzels, and chocolate. At the other two drink stations, at Kisubotnaskáli and by Kerling, only water and energy powder are available.
