On Saturday 28 February at 11:00, Treysti will organise round 6 of the TF Winter Series (VK6), which will again be held in Fossánes this year. This is the eighth time Treysti has organised a Winter Series race in the north. This time the race will again take place in Fossánes, because it is easier there to gather everything in one place before and after the race.
The weather has often played a big part when the race has been held in the north. Runners there have experienced storms and floods, pouring rain, blizzards, and calm and sunshine. Last year there was both wind and rain.
Runners compete in different categories, and all categories start at the same time at 11:00.
– Women / Men open category (b. -1998) – approx. 8 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1960-1969) – approx. 8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1959 or earlier) – approx. 8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1994-1998) – approx. 8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 1999-2003) – approx. 4 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1960-1969) – approx. 8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1959 or earlier) – approx. 8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1994-1998) – approx. 8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 1999-2003) – approx. 4 km
Again this year the race will be run around the school in Fossánes. It is a loop course of just under 2 km. Adults run four laps and girls/boys run two laps.
The start and finish will be in the same place as for the Fossánes Run, i.e. down on Fossávegur just before the hill up to the school.
The route goes up past the school, back down to Fossávegur on the north side, then north along the old Fossávegur, and just before the river (i.e. on the south side of the river) it goes through the field and up to Múlavegur through the gate there. From there it heads back towards the main road above Norðdepil, down to the street light and north along Fossávegur back to the finish.
The route (GG: the picture is from last year, which is why it says VK-5!)
Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place in all categories. As usual, registration takes place on the FÍF website (www.fif.fo). The deadline is Friday evening 27 February at 22:00. The entry fee is the usual, i.e. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. You can also register on the spot half an hour before the start, but then the cost is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children!
Participants are asked to arrive at the school in Fossánes from 10:00. Bib numbers must be collected by 10:45 at the latest. Changing rooms and showers are available at the school.
After the race, Treysti will also offer some refreshments.
Treysti hopes that many participants will take part, as the race is also a fun run that everyone can join.
