On Tuesday evening, 22 June, at 18:30, the Faroese 10 km Championships on the road will be held in Runavík. The race is also round 3 of FÍF’s Grand Prix series for adults.
As in previous years, the start will be just above Litaval. The route runs out to Sjómansheimið, where it turns down onto the quay. It then continues along Gulasteinsvegur and up onto the road by Føroya Banki, where it turns back out again. This loop is run just over 9 times.
On the final lap, the runners finish at Sjómansheimið.
This route is normally used in the Spring Race (Várkappingin) and is considered one of the fastest 10 km routes in the country.
