About the Event

Close out your year with a truly unique Icelandic tradition at the Gamlárshlaup ÍR on December 31, 2025. This is far more than a race; it's a New Year's Eve celebration on the run, starting at noon from Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall. Choose the official, FÍS-sanctioned 10km or a festive 3km fun run, where costumes are just as celebrated as finish times. It's a joyful, family-friendly gathering where elite athletes, charity runners supporting the Krabbameinsfélagið, and participants in creative disguises all share the fast, flat course. Ring in the new year by dashing along the scenic Sæbraut coastline—a perfect blend of sport, celebration, and community spirit.
