Tomorrow (15 January) the New Year Half Marathon, which was due to take place last weekend, will be held. A good 40 participants had registered. Hopefully most of them will still be able to take part, even though we were forced to move the race because of heavy snow. Even if the weather conditions won’t be perfect tomorrow, it looks as though conditions for running will be quite decent. We probably shouldn’t count on any super-fast times, though, now that it is coming in low.
Of those registered, these two, together with Regin Zachariasen, are likely to be the biggest favourites for the win.

So despite a bit of headwind, we can take comfort in the fact that a hot bath will be available at the sports hall in Runavík. And it will be even more enjoyable if we also set aside a little time to enjoy waffles and coffee at Sjócafé in Runavík from 13:00. This is also where we will hand out the medals in the various categories.
The race starts at 11:00. Those who have not yet registered can still do so up to half an hour before the start. We meet at the quarry on the Funningsfjørður road, which is also where the start is. There will be cars to take bags and outer clothing to the finish.
Welcome to the first race of the year!
