Fitmums and Friends are delighted to announce the opportunity to take part in an unforgettable running and Nordic Walking adventure to Iceland for the Midnight Sun Run 2026, taking place on 25 June 2026 in the heart of Reykjavík.

The race is set in Laugardalur, one of the city’s most popular recreational areas, and starts at 20:50, perfectly timed to experience Iceland’s famous midnight sun. Runners can choose from 5km, 10km, or a Half Marathon.  Nordic Walkers are welcome in the 5km (flat route) and 10km (hilly route).  This means it is an accessible and exciting challenge for all abilities.

This special trip is being organised by Jorunn, a Beverley Fitmums and Friends member & Leader who is originally from Iceland. With her expert local knowledge and passion for sharing her home country, participants can look forward to an authentic and well-supported Icelandic experience both on and off the course.

The trip has been organised over 3 or 4 days with flight options from Manchester or London Gatwick, prices ranging from £845 - £945 per person depending on choice of airport.  Single supplement applies.  For all the details see the information document below.

In addition, £50 from every booking will go directly to Fitmums and Friends, supporting their charitable work in helping people reap the physical and mental benefits of being active.

This trip combines fitness, friendship, charity and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of running through Reykjavík under a glowing midnight sky.
