Hengill Ultra-Trail 2018 - 50K
Starting at the Park in Hveragerði by the schoolhouse. Run up the gulch along Varmá-river past the guesthouse Frosti og Funi, up the hill and cross the road towards the Hamar. Run the walking path south of Hamarinn and up on the lava brink, to the old Kambar-road below Hrauntunga (summerhouses). Run the old road to a riding path going north over the Hamar, along the road and into the valley until you reach a walking path leading to a parking lot by Varmá-river innermost in the valley.
There you take a marked route upp Rjúpnabrekkur to Reykjadalur. Go up the Klambri gulch (Klambragil) from Reykjadalur by the hot stream and to Ölkelduháls until you reach a road marker (drinking station) showing the direction to Sleggjubeinsskarð on a bluemarked route. Run this route through Fremstidalur, Miðdalur, Þrengsli and Innstidalur. Just after Þrengsli you have to turn left from the path and over the stream and to the road going into the valley and from it you go down to Sleggjubeinsskarð, where there will be a drinking station and a toilet. Run the same route back up to the Sleggjubeinsskarð and then turn left on to a blackmarked route on the crest between Innstidalur and Húsmúli. Run this crest all the way up to Vörðu-Skeggi, which is the highest point on the Hengill-area. Enjoy the lovely view from Skeggi over the mountains around Þingvellir.
From Skeggi you go the same route down but shortly after you come down you continue on a marked route going south over the Hengill moors. Soon you reach a road marker pointing towards Innstidalur and follow it down until you reach a cabin innermost in the valley. Follow the paths until you reach the same valley-route.
Follow the path until you get to the same path that leads to the valley. Then you run the same way back until the markers at Ölkelduháls and then you go down to the Reykjadalur valley, north of Ölkelduhnjúkur. The run continues through Reykjadalur valley right down to downtown Hveragerði to the park where the finish line awaits.
