On Tuesday evening, 12 June, at 18:30 the Faroese Championships in the 10 km road race will be held in Runavík. This year the course and route are DAF-approved. Heðin and Gutti measured the route on the afternoon of Constitution Day.
The start has now been moved to Kiosk Vár. As in previous years, the runners will head out towards Sjómansheimið, where they turn down onto the quay. They then run along Gulasteinsvegur and up onto the road opposite Føroya Banki, where they turn and head out again. This loop is run just over 9 times. On the final lap the runners finish at Sjómansheimið.
This route is normally used for the Várkappingin spring race and is considered one of the fastest 10 km routes in the country.
Only runners who represent a club under FÍF and who run in their club kit/colours can become Faroese champions!

– Women open category (b. -1996)
