In connection with the Tórshavn Marathon, Bragdið has invited the well-known Danish running globetrotter Jesper Kenn Olsen to the Faroe Islands. Jesper is known for having run around the entire world, and he will talk about his journey in SMS on Saturday evening. The talk will be held at Baresso, where Pól Sundskar will also talk about his 7 marathons on consecutive days. The programme for the event at Baresso will be as follows:
Saturday 4 September at 17:00.
17:00 – 17:05 Fríðrikur Bláhamar welcomes everyone and says a few words about his first marathon.
17:05 – 17:10 Hákun Djurhuus talks about the route and the event as a whole.

But already on Friday at 15:30, Mayor Heðin Mortensen is hosting a reception in Posthúskjallarin. Hopefully everyone who is interested will turn out in large numbers for both of these events.
On Saturday morning, Hvirlan is organising an open competition at the Tórsbreyt track, with discus, high jump and triple jump on the programme. On the start list is none other than the strongest Dane of recent years, Peter Berling, who this year has set a personal best of 54.37 m! Peter had planned to compete in Helsingborg this weekend, but that competition was cancelled. He then noticed the competition at home in the Faroe Islands. Peter has already promised that he will set a track record at Tórsbreyt on Saturday, and anyone interested in throwing and athletics in general should go and watch this excellent thrower!
