Course Info
Navigation and Emergencies
Navigation
All participants are required to have the their course stored on a mobile device and/or on their cycling GPS computer. Grefillinn is a self-supported race so you are responsible for navigating the course on your own. At few turns the organizers will setup markings to indicate the next turn. This will only be done in cases where the turn is not that obvious.
Please make sure that you download the course from Komoot and also make sure to have a base map for Iceland on your device.
Instruction on how to get a Komoot course on to your device can be found here: Use Komoot on Your GPS Computer
First aid
We will have volunteers at each feed station who will provide assistance if needed.
In the most remote areas in Kaldidalur and on Grjótháls we will have Search and Rescue teams to assist in case of emergency.
Pls. keep these numbers stored on your mobile if you need to contact the race directors:
- Andri Már -> +354 859 3215
- María Sæm -> +354 864 9640
