As part of Sundalagsstevna, which this year is being held in Hvalvík/Streymnes, Bragdið is organising a running race. The race is part of the Grand Prix running series, which is organised in connection with the summer festivals. This is GP2 of 2013.
The race will be held on Saturday 15 June at 11:00. Bragdið is using chip timing to run the race. This means that every participant gets a chip, which must be attached to one of their shoes. When a runner reaches the finish, they run over a mat that records their time.
The start in Streymnes in 2010
The children’s route runs from the clubhouse at Margáir towards Saksunardalur. The exception is the oldest children, who run 1 lap with the adults.
The adults’ route runs from the clubhouse at Margáir, out onto the main road at Streymnes, across to Hvalvík, along the village road to the school and back to Streymnes. This loop is run 3 times and then on to the finish. Children up to 17 run 1 lap with the adult runners.
Those who don’t feel up to running 8.1 km have a good chance to take part this time, because we have a 3.1 km fun run for adults aged 16 or older.
The Grand Prix age groups are as follows:
• Women open group (born 1997 or earlier), i.e. 16 or older
• Men open group (born 1997 or earlier), i.e. 16 or older
• Women (K45+) veterans (born 1958–1967), i.e. 46–55
• Men (M45+) veterans (born 1958–1967), i.e. 46–55
• Women (K55+) super veterans (born 1957 or earlier), i.e. 56 or older
• Men (M55+) super veterans (born 1957 or earlier), i.e. 56 or older
Age is calculated as the age reached by the end of the year.
