Iceland

You’ll arrive in Reykjavik by Saturday afternoon and either take a taxi or shuttle via Flybus.com to the hotel in Reykjavik for the first night.

We’ll check you in that evening and get everyone oriented for what to expect throughout the week. This is also your first chance to meet your fellow adventurers! Dinner and drinks are included the first night as we kick off a grand week.

We’ll wake up, enjoy breakfast and then head straight to our first run of the week, which will give you a taste of what Iceland offers. Our run today takes you through a massive lava flow from the Burfell Volcano, culminating with a run around the rim of this (now dormant!) volcano.

After our run and lunch, you’ll have the afternoon to explore the city of Reykjavik. Go visit the Hallgrimskirkja cathedral, take a stroll through the shops along Laugavegur, and enjoy the friendly vibe of this European capital.

You've seen hot springs before, but have you ever soaked in an entire hot river?

Our second full day in Iceland explodes with excitement — literally! After breakfast, we start our run which is a shorter trot up to the hot river in the Reykjadalur Valley.

After our soak, we’ll head back to the bus to continue our tour of the Golden Circle which includes Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir (the original geyser), and Þingvellir National Park, where you'll hike to the meeting place of the North American and Eurasian continents!

Today's course is more of a hike as we head out to see what may be the most spectacular view of the week!

Take your time and use your senses to memorize the feeling of the mountains, glaciers, and braided rivers unfolding before you.

After our hike, we'll spend the afternoon enjoying the lodge to ourselves — relaxing in the sauna, playing Icelandic lawn games, or even sneaking a nap.

After a breakfast in the lodge, we’ll do one last run in Þórsmörk where you will be able to see more views of this incredible valley. We’ll then board the 4x4 buses and head back through the rivers, across the dirt roads, and take you back to the south coast, where we’ll continue on to the beautiful little costal town of Vik. On our way into town we’ll stop and visit the thundering Skogafoss Waterfall, where you can get as close and as wet as you like!

We will then take you to see one of the most unique beaches you have ever seen- Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Here the sand is made up of ground up lava and the cliffs are perfect octagonal columns of basalt. There are black sea stacks out in the ocean and a perfect cave where you can look out at the water.

We’re getting closer to the end of the week and we’ve saved the best sea views for last. Today, we’ll run from the town of Vik, to the towering sea cliffs above the ocean, where we will finish our run and spend some time enjoying the views. You may want to spend all day there, but eventually we’ll need to get back down because we have more adventuring to do!

After lunch, we'll take you to the (glacier name) Glacier where we have guides ready to strap on some crampons, give you an ice axe, and take you hiking on this amazing glacier. Our guides are super knowledgeable and safety-conscious and will teach you all about glaciers as you explore.

Our last day and final run of the trip! After leaving Vik in the morning, we’ll drive up to Keflavik for lunch, followed by an afternoon spent at the Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa. Before you go into the healing blue waters of the spa, we get to run around the lagoon. Our course takes you across chunky lava fields, through bright blue ponds, and of course, through more 100-year-old Icelandic moss than you’ve ever seen (but don’t touch it!).

After finishing our last run, we’ll take you to the spa, where you’ll have a few hours to relax and enjoy the Blue Lagoon in all its glory. Give yourself a complimentary silica facial. Have a few drinks at the swim-up bar. Whatever you do, just soak in this last incredible experience at the end of your week in Iceland. After the Blue Lagoon, we’ll end our week with dinner and closing ceremonies.
