Tómas Aron Viggósson emerged victorious in the men's 106-kilometer Hengill Ultra race, crossing the finish line at approximately 10:30 AM. Viggósson, representing Vaxandi hlaupaþjálfun, demonstrated exceptional strength and endurance throughout the demanding course, finishing with a time of 14 hours, 34 minutes, and 14 seconds.

The ultra-marathon, which began at 8 PM the previous evening, presented participants with harsh conditions. Runners contended with significant wetness, cold temperatures, and a challenging, muddy terrain shaped by recent rainfall. Despite these difficulties, the race has proceeded smoothly with no reported serious injuries.

Viggósson's performance marked a significant achievement, adding his name to the list of winners for the longest distance at the Hengill Ultra, an event now in its fifteenth year. While the 106 km race is still ongoing with more participants expected to finish, hundreds of others are competing in various shorter distances.
