Welcome to the Ólavsøka Run 2011
On Wednesday 27 July at 18:00, Bragdið is organising running races at Skálatrøð in Tórshavn. There will be races in various categories for both adults and children. The start and finish for all races are at Skálatrøð.
Register at www.renn.fo by Tuesday evening 26 July at 22:00 at the latest.
There is also plenty of excitement, as this is at the same time the Faroese Championships in the Grand Prix series, and the competition, which is the final for the adults, will be decided at Ólavsøka.
The races start at 18:00, when the adults run 5 km. The route goes round several times down at Skálatrøð and out to Bakki.
All the adults start together, and there are three age categories: adults born in 1995 or earlier, adults born 1956-1965 (veterans), and adults born in 1955 or earlier (super veterans). This is also the last round of the Grand Prix series, and this is the final.
The children start running at 18:30, when girls and boys up to 7 years (born 2004 or later) run one lap, i.e. 600 m. After that, girls and boys up to 10 years (born 2001-2003) run the same course.
The older children run 2 laps, i.e. 1200 m. There are races in these categories: boys and girls up to 13 years (born 1998-2000) and boys and girls up to 17 years (born 1994-1997).
Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in all categories receive medals.
