On Saturday 7 February the Faroese Cross-Country Championships will be held in Toftir. In this type of race the running takes place on open hillside. This is the sixth time that FÍF has organised Faroese Championships in this event.
The route
The race will be held at the so-called “Stovugólvið” on the hillside 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 terrain, which is open hillside, is good underfoot, although a few short slopes have been built into the route to make it more interesting.
Children, adults and veterans
There will be races in various age groups for men and women.
Boys and girls (born 1995–1997) run about 1.6 km
Junior men and women (born 1992–1994) run about 4 km
Adults (born 1991 or earlier) and veterans (born 1963 or earlier) run about 8 km.The race is open to members of any of the athletics clubs. The start is at 11:00
