On Saturday 21 February at 11:00, Treysti is organising round 4 of the Winter Series in Hvannasund.
The race is run on a loop course just over a kilometre long. The route is flat and is a little like the route of the Spring Race.
There are several categories, and all categories start at the same time at 11:00.
The categories are:
-Women / men open category (b. -1992)
-Women veterans / Men veterans (b. 1954-1963)
-Men super veterans (b. 1953 or earlier)
-Junior women / Junior men (b. 1988-1992)
-Girls / Boys (b. 1993-1997)
-Women / men open category (b. -1992)
-Women veterans / Men veterans (b. 1954-1963)
-Men super veterans (b. 1953 or earlier)
-Junior women / Junior men (b. 1988-1992)
-Girls / Boys (b. 1993-1997)
All the adult categories run 10 km, while girls and boys run 4 km. The start and finish are at the old school in Hvannasund. The route runs from the school north to Sandoyrabug, then south along the shore on the new path the municipality has built, and then up onto the village road out in Bug, where runners turn left and run north back to the old school.
The route
Medals, sponsored by KBI Sp/f, will be awarded to first, second and third place in all categories.
Registration is here on the website by midnight on Friday 20 February.
Participants are asked to arrive at the old school half an hour before the start to collect their bib numbers. The entry fee is the usual one, i.e. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children.
This is the second time a Winter Series race has been held in Hvannasund. Last year’s race was run in extremely poor conditions, but the participants did get a race to remember for life. Treysti hopes for a big turnout, as the race is also a fun run that everyone can take part in.
Changing facilities are available at the school in Fossánes in connection with the race.
