On Saturday at 13:00, Hvirlan is organising a trail run at Kerjar, and the next round of the TF Winter Series will be held at the same time. Interest in the trail run is strong, and around 300 people have already registered. This is the first time Hvirlan has organised a round of the Winter Series. As the name suggests, the race will be run out in the countryside, partly on the bridle paths near Hotel Føroyar.
The adults run a 10.5 km route, while the children run a 1.5 km route. The start and finish are outside Kerjalon. The long course goes from Kerjalon up along the racecourse, down the bridle path heading south, out to the cowsheds in Havnardalur, out to the road leading to the water well, around the old rubbish dump in Havnardalur, back to the cowsheds and then on around the bridle path heading north. The route cuts back up onto the riding track, then runs down along the riding track and all the way up to the car park on Oyggjarvegur, and then down the slope to the finish at Kerjalon. The 1.5 km course also goes up along the riding track. At the end of the riding track the runners do “a small loop” and then come back the same way. A map of the routes can be seen at this link:
