Reykjavik Marathon

CRC:

I want to stir up some ideas/excitement about getting some people to
race the Iceland Marathon/Half marathon this coming August.  The 28th
Íslandsbanki Reykjavik Marathon will take place in the center of
Reykjavik on Saturday August 20th.  It's only a 5hr flight from Boston
and using Student Universe or Orbitz you can get round trip for around
$500.  The city/country are beautiful in the summer, with temps in August averaging around 55 degrees, and the summer is the 'dry season'.

Prize money:
The top three male and female runners in the 21 km, 1 km and 42.2 km will
receive a special money prize. Prizes will also be awarded to the first
three Icelandic runners, male and female.  The prize money will be paid
in Icelandic krona (ISK).  Winners in the 10 km, half marathon and marathon will get a gift certificate for a flight from IcelandTotal.com.


Team competition:
First three teams in the team competition of the 10 km run, half
marathon and marathon will get prizes. For the marathon, the half
marathon and the 10 KM race, you can run as a part of a team consisting
of three to five members. Colleagues, organisations, families, friends
or anyone interested can form a team and women and men can be a part of
the same team. The only requirement is that all members of the team are
running in the same event (distance). Five team members can be
registered with the times of the first three being calculated for team
points.

Thanks,
