The Heart Behind Run Wild Iceland

I’m Sigurður “Siggi” Júlíusson — a lifelong athlete, mountain guide, and passionate trail runner born and raised in Iceland.

Over the years, I’ve competed in countless trail running races, marathons, and ultra marathons across Iceland, from the rugged highlands to the volcanic coastline. My love for pushing limits has also taken me to peaks beyond Iceland — including Mont Blanc, Mt. Rigi, and next on the list is Khan Tengri a 23.000 feet mountain in Kyrgyzstan.

But more than the races or the medals, it’s the connection to nature that drives me. There’s something transformative about moving through Iceland’s wild landscapes — feeling the elements, the silence, and the raw power of the earth beneath your feet.

With Run Wild Iceland, I wanted to share that experience with others.
These tours are about more than running — they’re about adventure, recovery, friendship, and reconnecting with the world around you.

Every route, every stop, and every moment has been personally chosen and tested by me to ensure the perfect balance of challenge and reward.

Join me — and discover Iceland the way few ever do.
