Trekyllisheidin mini (16.5K) is the short version of Trekyllisheidin, providing runners with an excellent opportunity to enter the ultra running community and get some ITRA-points, even the first ones. The race starts on the mountain pass Bjarnarfjarðarháls, between Steingrímsfjörður and Bjarnarfjörður, north of the scenic fishing village Hólmavík. The route follows a rough and at some times a bit muddy super-jeep trail into Trekyllisheidi. After 8.5 km it is about time to turn left and follow the same path as the ultra runners participating in Trekyllisheidin ultra, down to Selárdalur walley, across river Selá and towards the goal at the ski hut at Brandsholt. From there it is only 16 km drive (or run) to the swimming pool and hot pots in Hólmavík – or 21 km towards east to the fishing village of Drangsnes.
