"Not for first timers" (General Comments)

COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 1

Fifth of six marathons I've done...two loops which can get real barren, especially when you're low on gas during the second loop...small field and being able to visit Iceland is the main attraction to me...very little crowd support and little control of traffic outside the start/finish is an added challenge...you'll need to be supplied with your own motivation for this especially about 20 miles in when you're running near the water and facing a stiff breeze and falling temperature...was real happy to be crossing the finish line...also when I did this last year the marathon was part of a larger cultural festival and getting seated at a decent restaurant was difficult leading up to the day of the marathon...same problem following the marathon which made for a meal of Big Macs at McDonalds...not the best post-race meal...

"flat double loop with little support on route" (about: 2000)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 4

thought this would be an exciting and different marathon which it generally was. Traffic control late in the race was bad as I had to run around buses and autos. Pretty seaside setting. Small but enthusiastic crowds. International, small, friendly field. Worth your consideration just as an excuse to visit a beautiful city and country.
