"Laugavegur is special due to how geographically isolated the event is. It is essentially in the highlands of Iceland, far away from any towns or services. We have to ship most of the things needed for the race - food, medical products, tents, and staff over difficult terrain - both to the starting line in Landmannalaugar as well as the finish in Þórsmörk. It is no easy task and could not be done without the combined efforts of the hard-working people that do their utmost to put on an outstanding running event."
"The Laugavegur trail was voted by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world, and draws visitors from around the world."
"Facing many of the same obstacles as other point-to-point trail ultras, Laugavegur's challenges are amplified by its remote location, challenging weather conditions, and unique demands on both participants and volunteers."
"Iceland has a relatively small population, and this remote location creates a low-key feel but allows for intense experiences in nature that are incomparable to other races."
