Since the first Reykiavik Marathon was held in 1984. this biggest sports event in lceland, has promoted general public health. Every year in the marathon's 26-year history, the slogans have been "all can participate", "all win" and "a run for all". Appeals have been aimed at general participation, emphasizing the message that everyone can take part dads and moms, grandpas and grandmas, little children and big. Distances have been selected and tailored to make the run accessible to all. Thus, short distances have been offered as well as the traditional ones, which are the halF and whole marathon. This year the emphasis is on family participation, for example, by broadening the rules on discounts for children. Also, the entrance fee for children has been kept the same as it was in 2006. We are proud of the pioneering role of the Reykiavik Marathon in building up preventive health measures and improved public health. The practice of regular movement has a diverse effect on well-being and better health. lt is an important factor in reducing the risk of health problems like high blood pressure. diabetes, cardiovascular disease. obesity and support structure problems. Movement also has a clear impact on mental well-being. Events like the Reykjavk Marathon. which attracts entire families, groups of friends and workplaces, provide a valuable incentive for the general publids physical activity. Last fall there were various omens following the collapse of the banks and the economic problem now being addressed. But then the Reykjavik Marathon showed how good its reputation is. Despite difficulties at many of our collaborating companies, all of them decided to continue the sponsorship. All of them regarded the collaboration with the Reykjavik Marathon to be so valuable that it had to be continued despite economic problems. This has strengthened those of us organizing the event and is our incentive to do even better even though belts have had to be tightened and other adjustments made. We are extremely grateful for this trust, and we are determined to do our best to maintain our reputation with both our sponsors and the runners.
