On Saturday 17 November the Winter Series gets under way again, when the traditional race “Runt Agnið” starts at 11:00 at Tofta Skúli. As mentioned, this is the first round of the 2012/13 Winter Series, and at FÍF we hope for a big turnout again this year at the races, of which there are two more this winter. To complete the Winter Series, you must run four of the seven rounds, but everyone is of course welcome to run as many rounds as they like.
We are all a year older than last winter, and the new age groups now look like this:
- Women and men open class (b. – 1996)
- Women and men veterans (b. 1958 – 1967)
- Men super-veterans (b. – 1957)
- Women and men juniors (b. 1992 – 1996)
- Girls and boys (b. 1997 – 2001)
All groups except girls and boys run Runt Agnið, which is 10.3 km. From Tofta Skúli and out along the road. The route goes up to Agnið, on to Runavík and back out to Toftir, where the finish is on the quay in Toftir. The girls and boys run 5 kilometres. They start over at Mýrarnar, near the road down to Toftavatn, and follow the same route to the finish on the quay in Toftir. Everyone starts at the same time – 11:00.
Just after the start in 2011, when Runt Agnið had a record turnout of 80 runners.
Registration is on the website here by 22:00 on Friday evening, or at the latest half an hour before the start. Bib numbers are to be collected and paid for at Tofta Skúli from about 10:00. The fee is DKK 50 as usual. Girls and boys pay DKK 20.
Although our new registration system cannot yet show registrations already made, it is best for the organisers if most people register online. We are working on getting this fixed.
We are using the changing rooms at Tofta Skúli, and showers are also available there afterwards.
After the race Roysnið invites everyone to a get-together with coffee, cake and the medal presentation. Everyone gets coffee and cake, but only the top three in each group get medals. The medals are sponsored by Nes Municipality. You can read more about the Winter Series in another article on the site.
See you in Toftir 🙂
