On Saturday morning 1 February at 11:00, the Faroese Cross-Country Championships will be held for the fourth time in lower Hoydalar. “Lendisrenning” is the same as what we call cross running. We will, however, try to see whether the word “lendisrenning” can be adopted and catch on, if there is support for it.
The race is organised by FÍF and Bragdið and is also round 5 of the TF Winter Series (VK5). The race takes place in the beautiful surroundings of Hoydalar. The course runs across the large, beautiful field and up into the wood, but only on the east side of Hvítanesvegur. Boys and girls run 2 laps, or about 2.6 km. Everyone else runs 6 laps, or just under 8 km. Everyone is expected to start together at 11:00, but if it gets too crowded, the competition committee may decide that the boys and girls run first.
Register here on the site no later than Friday evening 31 January at 18:00.
The entry fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. – Please note that payment must be made online when registering.
Bib numbers can be collected in Hoydalar from 10:00 on race day.
It is also possible to register on the day, between 10:00 and 10:30! NB: When registering on the day, the fee is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children.

Weather and ground conditions don’t matter much when it comes to cross-country running. The photo is from the start last year.
