This and that

Mandatory equipment

Yes, you need more than just your running shoes. Make sure you know the mandatory equipment for your race distance. Everyone needs at least a cup of some kind to get drinks at the aid stations

The environment

We leave nothing on the track but blood, sweat and tears. Energy gel and wraps should be put in a pocket, or just tucked in a good place under your running clothes.


Finsh area

When you reach the finish line, you will be given refreshments and you can access your drop bag. Grab a snack, hug friends and family, and then soak up the atmosphere, cheer on other runners, and enjoy the moment.

The bib

The bib number must be placed correctly so that the timing equipment can read the chip on the back of the number. The number should be on the front. Pinned to the bottom of the shirt or to a number belt. Do not hang the number on the running vest or on the thigh.

ITRA Score


All competitors receive a ITRA score for the race in Súlur Vertical. We send results to ITRA after the race and it usually takes 2-3 weeks for them to process the results. ITRA takes full responsibility for the processing and publishes the runners' scores.


Traffic rules

The right-hand rule applies on the race course. Runners should keep to the right on paths and trails and pass slower runners on the left. Where paths are narrow and runners meet, a runner on the uphill side should give way to the right of a runner coming in the opposite direction.
