On Saturday at 15:00, Top Run is back on the programme. This is a very special race in which the entire course is run uphill. The start is at the Effo station in Kollafjarðardalur, 75 metres above sea level, and 9.8 kilometres later the finish is on Sornfelli, 680 metres above sea level. This particularly challenging race has been very popular right from the start, when the sports club in Mjørkadalur, MÍF, launched the event. The number of participants has usually been between 50 and 100.
Now that the radar station on Sornfelli has been closed down, the sports club has also been wound up. So it was not a given that the race would continue. But, as mentioned, this has been such a popular race that the people at Bragdið gladly took over now, after MÍF had organised Top Run for 10 years. Saturday will therefore be the 11th time Top Run is held.
Registration will NOT take place in the usual way. Bragdið plans to use the chip timing system, and in connection with this they will try out the registration system that comes with it. The system sends you a text message with your result almost as soon as you cross the finish line. You will also receive a link to the results list by email. People are encouraged to register online. The entry fee is then DKK 100. It is also possible to register on the day from 14:00, but the fee is then DKK 200. The link to the registration system is here:

The race will be divided into four categories:
- Men under 40 (born in 1974 or later)
- Men over 40 (born in 1973 or earlier)
- Women under 40 (born in 1974 or later)
- Women over 40 (born in 1973 or earlier)
Medals will be awarded to the top three in each category.
