Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it seemed as if Marnar Djurhuus leapt in a single bound from Kollafjarðardalur up to Sornfelli when Bragdið organised the 11th Top Run race on Saturday. It was also the first Bragdið Top Run, as the race will now be called. This is because Mjørkadals Ítróttarfelag, together with the radar station, has passed into history. The race has, however, been so popular that Bragdið is continuing to organise it.
But back to Marnar Djurhuus, who was running Top Run for the first time. Would he take Sigurður Justinussen’s record? And would Rigmor N. Arge win back the record she lost to Valborg Heinesen last year? It was the inventor of Top Run, Henning Kørvel, who started the race. Whether he hit Marnar in the backside, I don’t know. In any case, he shot off as if fired from a cannon, and after only a very short while he had taken a clear lead. The gap grew and grew all the way. Not until the very last stretch, into the headwind up towards the finish, did fatigue start to show on Marnar, but by then he had already done his job in full. The result was that he cut almost two full minutes off the record. He finished a full six minutes ahead of Mr Top Run, Sam Vang, who has won the race seven times. Regin Zachariasen also usually runs well at Top Run, and again this year he managed to run his way to third place overall.
Rigmor also ran well, and she more or less held her planned pace. However, the conditions towards the end, with strong headwind and rain, meant that the record was not secured. Hvirlan took both first and second place among the women, as Birna Mohr Joensen ran her way to a fine silver. Hergerð Heldarskarð from Bragdið finished third.
1. Marnar Djurhuus in top form on Saturday. 2. Ólavur Egholm battles with Sam Vang and Henry in red. 3. Regin Zachariasen showed his strength on the steep slope. 4 +5 Birita and Beinta fought their way up, but still had energy left for a swing-om with the chair on Saturday evening 🙂
