One day in October each year, the students of MR and its rival school, Verzlunarskóli Íslands (Commercial College of Iceland) or "Verzlo" as it is often referred to as, meet in the  "Hljómskálagarður" park, located in downtown Reykjavík, where various games and competitions are held.
These include: sprinting, soccer, rowing, giant-chess (later replaced with ordinary chess), screaming, tug-o-war, competitive eating, arm wrestling, car stuffing and the infamous Mexican-run.
The night of that day, a debating competition between the two schools is held.
