The Shetland Marathon will take place on Saturday 24 September at 09:00, and the organisers would be delighted to have Faroese runners take part. In addition to the marathon course, there will also be a half marathon! The marathon course runs from Mossbank to Lerwick.
It should be easy for Faroese runners to travel to this race, as Atlantic Airways is running a special flight to Shetland that weekend. The flight to Shetland leaves on Thursday morning, 22 September, at 07:00, and the return flight is on Sunday afternoon, 25 September, at 15:30.
The organisers say they will gladly help with accommodation, and on Saturday evening there will be a dinner and dance.

Several Shetlanders came to the Faroe Islands last year for the Tórshavn Marathon, so hopefully some Faroese will make the trip to Shetland on 24 September too!
