On Saturday 4 February at 11:00 the race in Hoydalar gets under way. It is both the Faroese Cross-Country Championships and round 3 of the Winter Series. This is the second time the Faroese cross-country title will be decided in Hoydalar. Last year there were around 30 participants, but hopefully there will be even more this year, because this is a race everyone should try. It is fun, tough, different and demanding, with soft ground the whole way round.
The adult categories run 6 laps, which is about 8 km, while boys and girls run 2 laps, or about 2.6 km. As well as racing for points in the Winter Series, runners will also compete for Faroese Championship titles and medals in these categories:
- Girls b. 1996-2000
- Boys b. 1996-2000
- Junior women b. 1991-1995
- Junior men b. 1991-1995
- Women open category b. – 1995
- Men open category b. – 1995
- Women veterans b. – 1966
- Men veterans b. 1957-1966
- Men super-veterans b. – 1956
The race itself takes place in the wooded area between Sanatoriivegur and Hvítanesvegur and on the open ground between Sanatoriivegur and the upper secondary school. Spikes are allowed for anyone who wants to wear them. Changing facilities are at the upper secondary school, where bib numbers will also be handed out from 10:00. As usual, the fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. Register here on the site by 21:00 on Friday evening.
