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

Round 2 of the TF Winter Series will be held together with the trail run organised by Hvirlan at Kerjar on Saturday 22 November at 13:00. The event has always drawn a lot of participants, and the route is very scenic.

From the start last year, when the weather was at its very best

Adults run a route of 10.5 km, while children run a route of 1.5 km. The start and finish are outside Kerjalon. The long course goes from Kerjalon, up along the horse-racing track, down Rossagøta heading south, out to the cowsheds in Havnardalur, out to the road leading to Vatnbrunnurin, around the old rubbish tip in Havnardalur, back to the cowsheds and then on around Rossagøta heading north. The route then cuts back up onto the riding track, and from there runners go along the riding track all the way up to the car park by Oyggjarvegur, and then down the slope to the finish at Kerjalon. The 1.5 km course also goes up along the riding track. At the end of the riding track runners do “a small loop” and then return the same way. A map of the routes can be seen at this link:

Bib numbers for the TF Winter Series must be collected on Saturday at Kerjalon between 11:30 and 12:30, and registration is also possible then. But it is best to register in advance, and even better to register both on Hvirlan’s website and in FÍF’s registration system.

The fee is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children. The first 500 to register will receive a running shirt.

The following is what Hvirlan’s website, www.hvirlan.fo, says about the event.
