On Wednesday evening, two strong Faroese women raced in Copenhagen at the MINI Havneløb, organised by Sparta. The 5 and 10 km courses are DAF-certified. Faroese national team runner Valborg Heinesen and Ólavsøka winner Marna Egholm both ran the 10 km.
Valborg battled for the win all the way, but in the end had to let Anne-Mette Aagaard pass her. Still, Valborg’s time was a very good 37:01, a new personal best. Her previous best was 37:09, which she ran at the Danish 10 km Championships in March.
Marna Egholm also ran a good race and finished as the fifth woman, in a strong time of 38:05! 376 women took part in the race, which says quite a lot about the Faroese women!!
Faroese men really have something to look up to in distance running.
A strong and fit Valborg set a good personal best on Wednesday evening
