On the evening of Tuesday 14 June at 18:30, the Faroese 10 km Road Running Championships will be held in Runavík. The race is also round 2 of FÍF’s Grand Prix for adults.
As in previous years, the start will be above Litaval. The route runs out towards Sjómansheimið, where it turns down onto the quay. It then runs 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 and is considered one of the fastest 10 km routes in the country.

Last year Bjørk won the Faroese Championships with a superb time of 36:16 min!
The leading men stayed together for a long time last year. Sam came out on top, however, and became Faroese champion.
