Hengill Ultra Trail 2025

Hengill Ultra 2025

Hengill Ultra Trail will take place for the 14th consecutive time on June 6.-7. 2025. Unique trails around Hengill volcano with breathtaking views attract numerous runners, making Hengill Ultra Trail the largest trail run in Iceland.

There will be various distances to choose from, 5K, 10K, 26K, 53K and 106K.

The starting point for all trails will be at the heart of the town of Hveragerði. The shorter distances will be around the town and up towards the hills of the surrounding mountains which are amazingly beautiful. The 26K trail goes up the Reykjadalur valley towards Ölkelduhjúkur peak and around that point. The 53K trail continues from there into the Hengill area, over the mountain valley, down via Sleggjubeinsskarð and then heading back. The 106K trail repeats that loop twice. The view from Hengill is truly amazing and breathtaking, making it one of the most beautiful routes in Iceland.

During the Hengill Ultra Trail event, the town of Hveragerði morphs into a carnival atmosphere of sorts where you'll find markets at the Expo hall at the sports centre with Icelandic artwork and products, local Icelandic produce and curiosities in the town shops. All pre-trail meetings and briefings for all distances will be held at the sports centre.
