The Winter Series starts on 8 November with Runt Agnið

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

On Saturday 8 November the TF Winter Series gets under way again. FÍF has a main sponsorship agreement with Tryggingarfelagið Føroyar, hence the name of the competition.

The first round will be held in conjunction with the traditional “Runt Agnið” race, which starts at 11:00 at Tofta Skúli and is organised by Roysnið. This is the first round of the TF Winter Series 2014/15, and at FÍF we hope that runners will once again turn out in large numbers for the races, of which there will again be eight this winter. To complete the Winter Series, runners must run five of the eight rounds, but everyone is of course welcome to run as many rounds as they like.

The team competition, which was very well received last winter, will be repeated in the same format. The only change is that clubs can now enter an unlimited number of teams.

The rules for the TF Winter Series can be found under RULES above.

We have all grown a year older since last winter, and women super-veterans now have their own category, so the new categories look like this:

• Women and men open category (b. – 1998)
• Women and men veterans (b. 1960 – 1969)
• Women and men super-veterans (b. – 1959)
• Junior women and men (b. 1994 – 1998)
• Girls and boys (b. 1999 – 2003)

All categories except girls and boys run Runt Agnið, which is 10.3 km. From Tofta Skúli and out along the road. The route goes up onto Agnið, to Runavík and back out to Toftir, where the finish is on the road down to the quay in Toftir. The girls and boys run 5 kilometres. They start over at Mýrarnar, near the road down to Toftavatn, and follow the same route to the finish at the quay in Toftir. Everyone starts at the same time – 11:00.

Last year’s record-sized field at the start

Registration is on the website here by 22:00 on Friday evening 7 November, or at the latest half an hour before the start. Bib numbers must be collected and paid for at Tofta Skúli from around 10:00. The fee is DKK 50 as usual. Girls and boys pay DKK 20.

We will use the changing rooms at Tofta Skúli, and showers are also available there afterwards.

After the race Roysnið invites everyone to a get-together with coffee, cake and the medal presentation. Everyone gets coffee and cake, but only the top three in each category receive medals. You can read more about the Winter Series in another article coming to the site.

See you in Toftir
