On Saturday 9 November the Winter Series, now called the TF Winter Series, gets under way again. FÍF has signed a main sponsorship agreement with Tryggingarfelagið Føroyar, hence the name of the competition.
The first round will be held in conjunction with the traditional “Runt Agnið” race, which starts at 11:00 at Toftir School and is organised by Roysnið. This is the first round of the TF Winter Series 2013/14, and at FÍF we hope runners will once again turn out in large numbers for the races, of which there will be eight this winter. To complete the Winter Series, you must run five of the eight rounds, but of course everyone is welcome to run as many rounds as they like.
New this year, there will also be a team competition in the TF Winter Series. You can read more about this competition in a separate article on the site. The rules for the TF Winter Series can be found under RULES above.
We have all become a year older since last winter, and the new age categories are as follows:
- Women and men, open category (b. – 1997)
- Women and men, veterans (b. 1959 – 1968)
- Men, super-veterans (b. – 1958)
- Junior women and junior men (b. 1993 – 1997)
- Girls and boys (b. 1998 – 2002)
All categories except girls and boys run Runt Agnið, which is 10.3 km. From Toftir School and out. The route goes up onto Agnið, to Runavík and back out to Toftir, where the finish is on the road down to the Toftir quay. 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 at the Toftir quay. Everyone starts at the same time – 11:00.
Just before the start of Runt Agnið in 2009
Registration is on the website here by 22:00 on Friday evening 8 November, or at the latest half an hour before the start. Bib numbers must be collected and paid for at Toftir School from around 10:00. The fee is DKK 50 as usual. Girls and boys pay DKK 20.
We will use the changing rooms at Toftir School, and showers are also available there afterwards.
After the race Roysnið invites everyone to a social gathering with coffee, cake and the medal presentation. Everyone gets coffee and cake, but only the top three in each category receive medals. You can read more about the Winter Series in a separate article on the site.
