Iceland’s new President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson was among the 15,000 people participating in the 33rd Reykjavik Marathon this weekend.
Crowds cheered as Jóhannesson crossed the finishing line after his half-marathon and many were eager to take a selfie with Iceland’s new Head of State. Jóhannesson became President of Iceland on 1 August this year.
The men’s marathon was won by Canada’s David Le Porho (2:29:45) and the women’s by the United Kingdom’s Betty Bohane (3:06:27). Results for all the various races can be found here.
This year’s Reykjavik Marathon has so far raised over ISK 97 million (approx. €735,000) for charity.
