Round 2 of the Grand Prix for children and young people is already on Tuesday 7 June. The deadline for entering the competition is as early as Friday evening, 3 June. Entries are made here on the website under “tilmelding” on the front page. Remember to make a separate entry for each event you are competing in.
Treysti will be coming to Tórshavn to organise the meet. This evening will be a big sprint evening, as there will be sprint races in all age groups. In addition, the older groups will run 1,000 metres and do the shot put, while the younger ones also have the long jump. Overall, the programme looks like this:
- Girls and boys 8-9 years: 40 metres and long jump
- Girls and boys 10-11 years: 80 metres and long jump
- Girls and boys 12-13 years: 80 metres and long jump
- Girls and boys 14-15 years: 200 metres, 1,000 metres and shot put
- Girls and boys 16-17 years: 200 metres, 1,000 metres and shot put
- Girls and boys 18-19 years: 200 metres, 1,000 metres and shot put
- 20+ men and women: 200 metres, 1,000 metres and shot put

As you can see, a new group has been added. Adults will now also get the chance to try themselves out on the track. There are few opportunities for adults to compete on the track, and the 18-19 group is often sparsely populated, so the competition committee thought it was worth a try to let the adults take part. They will probably compete together with the 18-19-year-olds. However, no points will be awarded in the new group, which will be called 20+.
As usual, the timetable and start lists with heat allocations will be posted on the website before the competition begins.
