Íþróttabandalag Reykjavíkur harmar þau mistök sem voru gerð við lagningu brautar í maraþoni og hálfu maraþoni í Reykjavíkurmaraþoni Íslandsbanka laugardaginn 18. ágúst. Snúningspunktur á Sæbraut var ekki rétt útfærður með þeim afleiðingum að brautin var 213 metrum of stutt. Þetta hefur verið staðfest með endurmælingum á brautinni.

Úrslitin standa þ.e. að verðlaunahafar í öllum flokkum eru gildir verðlaunahafar í maraþoni, hálfmaraþoni og Íslandsmeistaramótinu í maraþoni. Tímarnir eru hinsvegar því miður ógildir vegna þess að brautin var of stutt og verða því ekki færðir í afrekaskrá Frjálsíþróttasambands Íslands.

Hlauparar eru beðnir innilega afsökunar á þessum mistökum.

Unfortunately, a mistake was made regarding the marathon and half marathon course installation of the Reykjavik Marathon on Saturday, August 18th, 2018.

The turning point at road Sæbraut (16 km mark) was not properly executed with the consequence that the course was 213 meters too short. This has been confirmed by remeasurement of the course.

The final results stands. Prize winners in all distances and age groups are valid winners of the race and the Icelandic Marathon Championship. Unfortunately, the times are however not valid because the track was too short and will therefore not be entered in the Icelandic Athletic Federation track record.

The Reykjavik Sports Union sincerely apologizes to all runners for this mistake.
