On Sunday 3 August the annual Faroese Track and Field Championships in athletics will take place. As it is still not clear whether the track in Tórshavn will be finished, the competition committee has decided that the Faroese Championships will be held at Svangaskarð in Toftir.
When the Faroese Championships in athletics were first held in the early 90s, every event was contested over two weekends. However, there turned out not to be the support for so many competitions, and in recent years only selected events have been contested.
This year the competition committee has chosen the following events: 100 m, 200 m, 800 m, 5000 m and long jump. The programme will be drawn up and published here on the website after the registration deadline, which is midnight on Friday 1 August.
This is an open competition, so everyone born in 1992 or earlier is eligible to take part. FÍF hopes for a big turnout, and that those who perhaps have not been very active lately will now finally step onto the athletics stage.
The competition starts at 14:00. Medals will be awarded to the top three in each event. The fee is DKK 50 per participant, to be paid when collecting the bib number. For this fee you can take part in as many events as you like. Registration takes place here on the website and, as mentioned, must be completed by Friday evening 1 August. There will be no registration on the day.
