The Trail Running Race - Súlur Vertical takes place 1st of August 2020.
These pictures were taken yesterday when volunteers were marking a new route up Mt. Hlíðarfjall. This route is a part of the main event of the race a 55km and 3000m elevation gain run, giving 3 ITRA points. The race takes participants to the highest peaks around Akureyri down to the central heart of town.
Still on the menu are the two shorter races, 28km and 18km. The 18km race is good for anyone familiar with trail running, while the 28km is more challenging with steeper climbs.
