With the summer festivals just around the corner, the annual Grand Prix for adults is also getting under way. Round 1 takes place at Norðoyastevna in Klaksvík on Saturday, where a children’s race is also on the programme.
Once again this year there will be six rounds. The other races will be at Fjarðastevna in Skáli on 12 June (Friday evening), at Sundalagsstevna in Kollafjørður on 20 June, at Eystanstevna in Runavík on 7 July (Tuesday evening), at Vestanstevna in Sandavágur on 10 July (Friday evening) and at Ólavsøka on 27 July (Monday evening). To count in the overall competition, each participant must take part in at least four races.
There are three categories for men and women: open, veterans and super veterans. How the categories are divided can be found under rules on the front page. The points system that has usually been used for the summer Grand Prix can also be found there. Note that 3 bonus points are awarded for 5 races, and 5 bonus points if a participant has taken part in all six races.
The race at Norðoyastevna starts at 12:00. The course is 5 km and follows the same route as in recent years. When the adults have finished, the children’s race begins. Registration is open on the registration page and must be completed by 22:00 on Friday evening. The fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. Registering on the day costs an extra DKK 20 on top of the fee.
