For travel packages contact Nonni Travel nonnitravel.is The start of the 53K run is at Breidumork Hveragerdi main street by the town hall. The route goes past the Skyrgerdin restaurant through the park up the ravine by Varma past the B and B Frost and Funi up the hill and over the road towards the Hamar. There you run on a forest path south of the Hamar and up by the lavaside to the old Kambar road below the Hrauntunga cabin. The old road leads then to a horse riding path to the north of the Hamar parallel to the highway. The path is taken into the valley and towards the sports centre where you encounter a foot path that leads to the parking lot by Varma and Dalakaffi further into the valley. There you will run a marked route up Rjupnabrekkur and into the Reykjadalur. After that you head towards Klambragil by the warm geothermal spring and out again onto a footpath that leads to Olkelduhals until you pass a way marker that points you towards Sleggjubeinsskard with blue markers along the way. By the marker you switch onto a lined path that leads to a hydration point. After the hydration point you follow the lined path. You continue there through Fremstidalur Middalur Threngsli and Innstidalur. When you are at Threngsli you take a left turn off the path over the stream and onto the path that leads into the valley and from that down towards Sleggjubeinsskard where there is a hydration point and toilet facilities. From there you run the same way up the pass but you will take a left turn onto a black marked path that runs along the ridge between Innstidalur and Husmuli. From there you will run all the way up to Vordu Skeggi which is the highest point of the Hengill area 810m. The view from there is amazing and on a good day you can see the mountain area of the Thingvellir national park and surrounding highlands. From Vordu Skeggi you go down the same route but shortly after the descent you will continue on a marked path south and run through the heaths of Hengill. You will soon encounter a way marker that points to Innstidalur and you follow that until you arrive at a cabin deep in the valley. From there you follow the path until you come across the same route you went into the valley. Continue the same route towards the hydration point and to a way marker by Olkelduhals. The same path is taken down towards Klambragil. From there you run down Reykjadalur and down into Hveragerdi along the ridge down Argil towards the park and through the finishing line at Breidumork. Remember to carry the obligatory kit with you. Combined elevation is about 2050m. For travel packages contact Nonni Travel.
