Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

Next Saturday sees the start of the Track Grand Prix, which FÍF organises together with the clubs. The competition will be organised in the same way as last year, i.e. three meets, all of them held at Tórsbreyt. As last year, there are 2 weeks between rounds, and all three rounds will be completed before the summer holidays begin. The rounds are as follows:

1. Saturday 24 May, 12:00, Treysti/Roysnið (registration by Tuesday 20 May at 24:00 at the latest)
2. Saturday 7 June, 15:00, Hvirlan (registration by Tuesday 3 June at 24:00 at the latest)
3. Saturday 21 June, 12:00, Bragdið (registration by Tuesday 17 June at 24:00 at the latest)

Once again this year, it will all finish with an “Afterparty”. This year it will be on the same day as the last Grand Prix, i.e. Saturday 21 June at 19:00, when all the awards will also be presented. The Afterparty will be held at the premises of “Østrøm” at Skálatrøð.

On Saturday 24 May at 12:00, Treysti and Roysnið are the organisers, and the events will be as follows:

• Men/women: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus
• Boys/Girls 18-19: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus
• Boys/Girls 16-17: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus
• Boys/Girls 14-15: 100 m, 1,000 m, triple jump and discus
• Boys/Girls 12-13: 100 m, 600 m, high jump and discus
• Boys/Girls 10-11: 100 m, 600 m, high jump and ball throw
• Boys/Girls 8-9: 60 m, 600 m, long jump and ball throw
• Children 5-7: 60 m

Once again this year, the adults will be part of the Grand Prix. The competition format is organised in the same way, so that each age group has four different events: sprint, middle distance, throw and jump. The points system is unchanged, and once again this year no. 1 in each event gets 10 points, no. 2 gets 9 points, and so on. The athlete with the most points after the three rounds will be the overall winner. All three rounds count. The very youngest – aged 5-7 – will also get to try their hand at one event each time. This, however, is outside the Grand Prix.

Registration for the meets is now open here on the site.

The deadline for registration is Tuesday evening 20 May at 24:00. No entries will be accepted after this. Not even on the day!

The rules for the Track Grand Prix 2014 can be found under “Rules” at the top of the page.
