On Saturday another of the big summer festivals will be held. This time it is the people of Vestmanna who will organise the Fjarðastevna, a festival that alternates between Strendur, Skáli and Vestmanna. In Vestmanna they have always organised a running race at the festival, and this year is no exception. The race will be organised in the same way as all the other festival runs around the country, with these groups:
- girls and boys under 7 (b. – 2005) 600 m
- girls and boys under 10 (b. 2002 – 2004) 600 m
- girls and boys under 13 (b. 1999 – 2001) 1.5 km
- girls and boys under 17 (b. 1995 – 1998) 1.5 km
- men and women open group (b. – 1996) 4 km
- men veterans (b. 1957 – 1966) 4 km
- women veterans (b. – 1966) 4 km
- men super-veterans (b. – 1956) 4 km
The race starts at 10:30 with all the adult groups. The children’s race follows afterwards, and as usual it will begin with the youngest groups. This means the children’s race can be expected to start at around 11:00.
The adults’ route can be seen below. It is the same route that was run in 2010. Runners will complete 5 laps of just under 800 metres. The under-13 and under-17 groups run two laps. The two youngest groups run on a route down by the harbour area.
All registration will be on site from 9:30. Registration takes place in the old coffee van Inni á Fjørð, where Sam used to dock.
Medals will be awarded to the top three in each group. The fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children.
