On Saturday 9 February the Faroese Cross-Country Championships will be held in Toftir. In this type of race, the running takes place across open hillside pasture. This is the fifth time FÍF has organised the Faroese Championships in this event.
The route
The race will be held at the so-called “Stovugólvið” on the hillside pasture just above and to the north of the grass pitch at Svangaskarð. Runners will complete several laps of a loop of about 800 m.The whole race takes place within a fenced-off area. The ground, which is pasture, is well levelled, although a few short slopes have been built into the route to make it more interesting.

Boys and girls (born 1994–1996) run about 1.6 km
Junior men and women (born 1991–1993) run about 4 km
