Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

The race in Hósvík, which is also round 3 of FÍF’s Grand Prix running series, takes place on Saturday at 11:00. Everyone is welcome to take part, but to count in the overall standings you must be a member of one of the athletics clubs. After the adults’ race there will be a children’s race.

The age groups in the Grand Prix running series are as follows:

The groups in the children’s race are the same as before:

• Boys/girls up to 7 years (b. 2004 or later)
• Boys/girls up to 10 years (b. 2001–2003)
• Boys/girls up to 13 years (b. 1998–2000)
• Boys/girls up to 17 years (b. 1994–1997)

The adults run just over 7 kilometres. The start is in the middle of the village, heading north along the old village road. Where the new and old roads meet, runners turn right and run south again to the main entrance road, where they turn right again up to the start, and there turn left. The route then goes under the main road and down along the quay, where runners go round the southernmost building at the end of the quay and back up to the start. This course is run three times. Each lap is about 2.4 km.

The children run up in the village on an “out and back” route north along the old village road. The two younger groups run 500 metres, and the two older groups 800 metres.
