Round 3 of the Grand Prix series for adults and veterans will be held in Vágur on the Saturday of Jóansøka. The race goes around the lake out west at Eiðið. The course is 1.2 km and is run 5 times, 6 kilometres in total. It is an unusual and pleasantly flat route.
The race is organised by Hvistan, the athletics club in Suðuroy. The adults’ race starts at around 13:30, but the day opens with a children’s race at 12:45. All children’s groups run one lap around the lake, which is 1.2 km. The groups are:
- Girls/boys 0-8 years
- Girls/boys 9-11 years
- Girls/boys 12-14 years
Age is counted as the age reached on the day of the competition
Registration is via the website renn.fo or on site from 12:15. The fee is DKK 20 for children and DKK 50 for adults.
There will be Sunkist and fruit for all participants, and medals for the top three in each group. Bib numbers will be handed out from 12:15. Meet at the lake, up towards the VB clubhouse.
It is easy for runners from north of the fjord to take part and enjoy a pleasant Jóansøka day. The Smyril ferry sails from Tórshavn directly to Vágur at 10:00 on Saturday morning, and back north at 19:30 the same evening.
