Laugavegur Ultra Marathon Iceland 2008
Enjoy the ultimate endurance test in spectacular surroundings. The course takes you from the natural springs at Landmannalaugar to Thórsmörk, a valley nestled between two glaciers about 55 Km away. The course is normally hiked in 4 days, and is one of the most beautiful in Iceland, stretching from Landmannalaugar in the highlands to Thorsmork, a natural reservation area. The race is multi-terrain (sand, gravel, grass, snow, ice, rivers and streams) and is well-marked with wooden markers to prevent runners from getting lost. |

| What people
have said about our charity fundraising events:
'I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, made some new friends and discovered a lot about myself. I would like to thank the entire team for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be there next year' On behalf of the Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team, I would like tosend our sincerest thanks to Acorss the Divide Expeditions for your generous donation. Genevieve Ward, Treasurer. 'I cannot remember having written to an organisation before to comment on the level of service provided but after my experience it is certainly the correct thing to do. I am Managing Director of a hotel company and I am therefore fully aware of the problems and difficulties that can present themselves when dealing with a large group of people and the requirement to pull together various associates and service providers in order to seamlessly provide a high level of service which exceeds your client's expectations'. |
The course was absolutely fantastic. so organized, smoothly run, seamless transition from one thing to another, interesting, informative and so much FUN. I can only imagine the effort and immense work that must go into making the four days so fabulous for us all. The enthusiasm of all the "faculty" and the evening lecturers for the subject was both humbling and inspiring. I am sure they realise what a success the course was but can't help adding my gratitude to the multitude'. |
