Powerade WinterRun February

Defy the Arctic winter under the glow of headlamps at the Powerade WinterRun in Reykjavik on February 12, 2026. This unique 10km night run is a beloved fixture in the local calendar, taking place on a measured loop through the serene Elliðaárdalur valley near the Árbæjarlaug outdoor pool. Feel the exhilarating contrast of the cold night air and the warmth of a vibrant running community as you join Icelanders for a weekly tradition of resilience and camaraderie, regardless of the weather.

Experience the straightforward, affordable spirit of Icelandic running with a flat registration fee of only 1,000 ISK, which covers your bib and the pure, unfussy joy of participation. The post-race ritual of soaking in the geothermal hot tubs with fellow runners is an essential part of the adventure, turning a simple run into a memorable social and cultural experience. The 7:30 PM start time in the heart of winter demands self-sufficiency, with a headlamp recommended to light your way through the dark, potentially snowy paths. Secure your spot via the online portal and embrace the elemental challenge of a true Nordic winter run, where the finish line leads directly to warmth and conversation.
