Hallur Holm of Bragdið and Rebekka Fuglø of Treysti won the Faroese Cross-Country Championships this morning, when Bragdið organised round 5 of the TF Winter Series (VK5) in Hoydalar. More than 80 runners started, by far the largest field ever at the Faroese Cross-Country Championships. Conditions for running this morning were excellent, and despite a lot of snow earlier in the week the ground was drier than expected. There was almost no wind and the sun peeped out.

The adults have just started, with the favourites at the front.

Going out on the 2nd lap Hallur took the lead, while Jan Elmar, Rúni and Julian followed. Sam lost a lot of ground at this point, but came back well later and finished 3rd.

There was also a tough battle just behind the leading group. At the front Teitur, then the strong Dane Martin Gravesen, Niels Poulsen, Marnar Pattinson, Regin Áki Hansen, Guttorm Sørensen and Henry Olsen.

The three leading women were dead level for the first four laps. First Borgarhjørt Holm had to let go, and going out on the last of the six laps, Rebekka Fuglø pulled away from Rigmor N. Arge.

It looks pleasant, but it is truly hard, and every position was hard fought.

Turnout today was so big that the children had to start two minutes before the adults so that there would be room to run. As always, the children set a tremendous pace.
