This coming Friday the Grand Prix competition on the track begins, organised by FÍF together with the clubs. For the past two years we have organised 5 meets, but this year there will be only three, and they will all be held at the Tórsbreyt track. On Friday evening 18 May the organiser is Bragdið, and the events will be as follows:
- Men: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus
- Women: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus

- Girls 8-9 years: 60 m, 600 m, long jump and ball throw
- Children 5-7 years: 60 m
This year the adults will also be part of the Grand Prix, which is why we will no longer call it the Grand Prix for Children & Youth, but the Track Grand Prix. The competition format is organised in the same way, so that each age group has four different events: sprint, middle distance, throw and jump. The points system will be changed. We will no longer use the Norwegian Tyrving table. This year No. 1 in each event gets 10 points, No. 2 gets 9 points and so on. The overall winner will be whoever has the most points after the three rounds. And all three rounds count. The very youngest – 5-7 years – will also get to run one race each evening. This is, however, outside the Grand Prix.
The events on Friday evening start at 18:30 and will last 3 hours at most.
Registration for the events is now open. Due to changes in the registration system, your entry may not show up in the overview straight away. But when the system says “thank you for your registration”, your entry has been processed.
The registration deadline is Wednesday evening! No entries will be accepted after this. Not on the day either!
The Grand Prix is for children, youth and adults alike. Perhaps we will see another father-and-son showdown this summer? Here are the Gregersen father and son in a sprint duel in Runavík. (photo: Treysti)
