This weekend Hvirlan is organising the NATLOC orienteering event, which has brought people from seven different countries to the Faroe Islands to run with map and compass while enjoying Faroese nature.
The races began on Wednesday, with a run around the woodland in Hoydalar. Today a town sprint is on the programme, run in the town centre and surrounding area in Tórshavn. On Saturday the race will be held out in Nólsoy, and on Sunday the race will be around Rossagøta and Húsahagi in Tórshavn.
In orienteering it’s no use running with your head tucked under your arm. Here legs and brain have to work together all the way
Everyone can take part in the races. Instruction in using map and compass is given one hour before every race, so just come along. Registration for the race in Nólsoy is at the tourist information office there at 10:30. Dúgvan will sail an extra trip from Tórshavn at 10:00 for the event and will sail back after the race has finished.
Sunday’s race starts at 10:00. For this race, registration takes place in Kerjalon from 9:00. The entry fee is DKK 145. But if you bring the whole family, all of you can take part for DKK 200.
