On Friday 9 July at 18:00 the sports club Frælsi is organising the annual Vestanstevna race, which is being held in Sørvágur this year. Turnout has been very good in recent years, and the organisers hope it will be again this time.
From the start of the Fjarðastevna race in Vestmanna last weekend
Races will be held in the usual categories:
- Men b. 1900-1994 7.5 km
- Women b. 1894-1994 7.5 km
- Men veterans b. 1955-1964 7.5 km
- Women veterans b. 1894-1964 7.5 km
- Men super veterans b. 1900-1954 7.5 km
- Girls and boys b. 2003 and later run 750 metres
- Girls and boys b. 2000-2002 run 750 metres
- Girls and boys b. 1997-1999 run 1.5 km
- Girls and boys b. 1993-1996 run 1.5 km
The route will be the same as at the Vestanstevna race in Sørvágur 3 years ago: from the church out to Býggjar. It is a very beautiful route, which everyone praised last time.
The race is also the sixth of seven rounds in the Grand Prix series for adults. Only those who have taken part in at least 5 races by the end of the Ólavsøka Run count in the overall standings. This means that those who have run three rounds so far are still in contention in the overall standings.
Medals will be awarded to nos. 1, 2 and 3 in all categories.
Online registration
Again this year, registration will take place online on FÍF’s website, www.renn.fo. The deadline for online registration is Thursday evening 12 July at 22:00. The entry fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. The entry fee must be paid when the bib number is collected. Collection starts at 17:00 by the church in Sørvágur. It is also possible to register at the church, no later than ½ hour before the races start. All participants are asked to arrive at the church in good time before the race starts.
Everyone is welcome to take part, including those who do not intend to compete in the Grand Prix.
