This October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), set yourself the ultimate challenge and sign up for a once in a lifetime event – The MoonWalk Iceland on 22nd June 2024. Places are selling out quickly!
This night-time walking marathon (26.2 miles) takes place on the stunning shores of Lake Myvatn and raises money and awareness for vital breast cancer causes.
You’ll experience the joy and emotion of completing a marathon, surrounded by breathtaking scenery in the Land of the Midnight Sun – a beautiful wilderness, where the sun doesn’t set.
Entrants receive a full training plan to get “marathon fit” and as well as enjoying the benefits of walking, the money raised will help support those living with cancer now.
The trip runs from 20 – 25 June 2024 and includes a trip to Reykjavik, the world’s most Northern capital city, a visit to Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe, whale watching, and a much needed soak in the Blue Lagoon.
