Ljósið is an independent cancer rehabilitation center located in Reykjavik. Our team offers phycological, physical and social rehabilitation to Icelanders diagnosed with cancer as well as education and support for family members. Each month over 500 people seek our services which now include special telehealth services for those residing away from the capital. 

Throughout the years Íslandsbanki Reykjavik Marathon has been an important fundraising event for the center. With the support we have been able to eliminate all costs for interviews, educational seminars and physical rehabilitation. In 2019 we broke the record for amount raised and the entire sum was used to add a new house to our facilities on Langholtsvegur where today holds excellent facilities for physical rehabilitation.

We continue to build and develop accessible rehabilitation for oncologists across the country and hope that as many people as possible will join us.

As always, we will be strong on the sidelines in the race and encourage our people to keep going. It is always a special day for the staff. Everyone who runs for us gets a shirt marked Ljósinn and if Covid-19 allows, we will have our booth at the race registration registration.

All those running for Ljósið receive a branded t-shirt. Please find us at The Fit & Run EXPO when picking up your race package.
