On Saturday 24 January, round 3 of FÍF’s Winter Series (VK3) takes place, with Bragdið hosting up north in Sundalagið.
All categories start at the same time, with the starting gun at 11:00. The categories are:
Adult women and men, open category (b. -92) – 8.3 km

The start and finish are at Margáir in Streymnes. The route runs from the sports hall, through Streymnes, along the lower road down to Oyrin, on to Halvík, through Hvalvík and back to Streymnes. Adults, veterans, super veterans and juniors run the course three times; girls and boys once.
Although many races have been held on this route over the years, this is only the second time this particular course has been run. That was last year, when Guttorm Sørensen won in the excellent time of 29:29 min. Behind him came Andrias Hansen and Borgar Biskobstøð in 30:27 and 31:30 min respectively. In the women’s race, Bjørk H. Olsen won ahead of Fríðunn Steinberg and Susan Jacobsen. The girls’ and boys’ races were won by Rebekka Fuglø and Rúni Seloy.
Registration takes place here on the site and must be completed by Friday evening 23 January at 23:00. It will also be possible to register from 10:00 on race day. Bib numbers will be handed out from 10:00 in the sports hall at Margáir. The fee is DKK 50 for the four oldest categories and DKK 20 for the youngest.
It will be possible to change and shower in the sports hall. Medals will be awarded to nos. 1, 2 and 3 in all categories, and there will be something refreshing to drink at the finish.
