When Marna Egholm ran and won the Ånglamark Half Marathon on New Year’s Eve, she was credited with a new Faroese record for the distance. Her split times were so strong that she was also under the Faroese records at both 15 km and 20 km. FÍF contacted the organisers of the race (Sparta) to find out whether the 15 km and 20 km marks could be accepted as national records.
The answer was yes, as all the points were DAF-certified. So the last day of 2014 became the day on which Marna set not just her first Faroese record, but her first three Faroese records.
Marna laces up her shoes for even more records
All of these records were previously held by Valborg Heinesen. Both Marna and Valborg are running very well at the moment, and it is only a matter of time before one of them takes even more off these times.
The records set on that last day of 2014 were:
- 15 km – 57:23 min
- 20 km – 1:16:46 hrs
- Half marathon – 1:20:57 hrs
Frælsur Ítróttur Føroya congratulates Marna on her records.
