On Sunday 27 July at 18:00, Bragdið will host the popular Ólavsøka Run at Skálatrøð in Tórshavn. This is also the 7th and final Grand Prix race of the summer. There will be races in various categories, for both adults and children. The start and finish of all races are at Skálatrøð.
Boys ready to start in 2012. The children’s race at Ólavsøka has often been exciting, and several new running stars have emerged in this very race.
Bib numbers and chips must be collected from Lützens Timburhandil on Sunday 27 July from 16:00 to 17:30.
It is also possible to register on the day, 27 July, between 16:00 and 17:00!
NB: For on-the-day registration, the fee is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children.
To make things easier, people are therefore asked to register no later than 25 July at 22:00.
Bragdið uses chip timing to record each runner’s time. This means that all runners will be given a chip together with their bib number. The chip must be attached to the left shoe. Instructions will be given by staff on site before the race. NB: THE CHIP MUST BE RETURNED AFTER THE RACE!!!
