As part of the Sundalag festival in Kollafjørður this weekend, the people of Kollafjørður are organising a festival run for children and adults on Saturday at 11:00. Races will be held in the usual age groups we know from the other festivals and, as usual, medals will be awarded to the top three in each age group. The groups are as follows:
- girls and boys under 7 (b. 2005 or later) 300 m
- girls and boys under 10 (b. 2002–2004) 600 m
- girls and boys under 13 (b. 1999–2002) 800 m
- girls and boys under 17 (b. 1996–1998) 800 m
- men and women, open group (b. 1996 or earlier) 8 km
- men veterans (b. 1957–1966) 8 km
- women veterans (b. 1966 or earlier) 8 km
- men super-veterans (b. 1956 or earlier)
As mentioned, the run starts at 11:00. The adults go first. The children’s race follows straight afterwards, at around 11:50. The medal ceremony will be at 12:30. Registration and bib number collection will be in the village hall from 10:00. The fee is, as usual, DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. Please note that there is no online registration. The village hall is a little way inland from the boat harbour, and that is also the best place to park.
The turnout has always been good in Kollafjørður. This is from the start in 2009, when Andrias Hansen was the dominant force. On this day, however, he was not at his best, and Sam Vang took the men’s win.
