This weekend will be one of the really packed ones for athletics. Tonight Marnar Djurhuus competes in the Norwegian Championships over 10,000 metres at Bislett Stadion in Oslo. Tomorrow Treysti, as it did last year, is organising a big school relay on the football pitch at Við Djúpumýrar, in which practically every primary and lower-secondary school pupil in the Northern Isles takes part.
Marnar’s race will be streamed, and anyone interested can follow it at this link: http://www.kondis.no/foelg-norges-beste-direkte-paa-nett-fra-norway-grand-prix-torsdag.5496488-127676.html
On Saturday there are another two big events on the programme. The Grand Prix meet, organised by the clubs together with FÍF, starts on Saturday at 12:00. More than 100 children, young people and adults will compete on the Tórsbreyt track in sprint, middle distance, long jump, triple jump, high jump, discus and ball throw. And at 16:00 Bragdið’s big event, the SMS relay, a corporate relay race, gets under way. Start lists and the timetable for the Grand Prix meet will be available on fif.fo later.
On Sunday Hvirlan is holding its annual Stuttleikir event, where all children can come along and try out athletics. On Monday Hvirlan is holding a small sprint meet with only the 100 m on the programme.

Meanwhile, Pól Sundskarð has gone to Bornholm, where on Saturday at 11:00 Danish time he will take part in the Danish 24-hour Championships. This will be Pól’s third 24-hour race. We understand he aims to run further than before, and to do that he will have to run at least 182 km! More about that at this link: http://www.tejnif-lob.dk/6-24-48-timers-lob
Pól giving thanks and speaking at a reception after an ultra race – now he is off again.
We wish all the athletes and organisers the best of luck!
