The days are getting longer and brighter, Flag Day is approaching, and with it the annual Flag Day Run, which this year is being held for the 27th time. As usual, Bragdið is organising the race, and this year it will be even more fun to take part. The race starts at 16:00, straight after the Flag Day ceremony at Vaglið. Children and adults, experienced and inexperienced, will be trying their hand, companies will be competing, and for the first time we plan to add a fun run as well. The route is the same for everyone, except for those taking part in the fun run. The course for adults is 7 km, for children 1.3 km, and the fun run course is 3.5 km. Medals will be awarded to the first three in each children’s and adult category, and the winner will also receive a good gift voucher. The winners in the children’s categories will win a smartphone. Everyone taking part in the fun run will be entered into a prize draw for good prizes from shops and businesses in town. There will also be a prize draw among all participants. Prizes from the draw must be collected on the spot, or a new draw will be made until a winner comes forward.

The fun run is well suited to families with children who would like to walk and run without competing. Mums, dads, grandmas, grandads, children, aunts, uncles – everyone who fancies taking part. There is no timing for this category.
The categories will be as follows:
- Girls and boys born (2000-2006)
- Women and men born (1968-1999)
- Women and men veterans (1958-1967)
- Women and men super veterans (-1957)
- Fun run children (2000-)
- Fun run adults (-1999)
As well as being an individual race, the Flag Day Run is also a competition between companies, institutions and the like, known as the corporate challenge. Here too there is a good gift voucher for the winners. Read more about the corporate challenge here
Registration is done by clicking this link. The deadline for online registration is Sunday evening 21 April at 21:00! The fee is DKK 80 for adults and DKK 40 for children. Payment is made online on the registration page. Bib numbers must be collected at the premises of Hotel Hafnia on Wednesday 24 April between 15:00 and 18:00. It is possible to register for the race on the spot, 1 hour before the starting gun, which is at 16:00. However, you will then not get a timing chip, only a bib number, and you will take part in the fun run.
