This coming Saturday, 28 March 2015, will be a big day for running. Roysnið is organising the annual Spring Race, which also serves as the final of the TF Winter Series and decides the Faroese 10 km road running titles in the adult categories. Boys and girls run 5 kilometres.
The start on Saturday morning is at 11:00, and everyone starts at the same time. The forecast promises decent weather, little wind and perhaps a little rain on Saturday morning, so conditions for running a good time should be good. This is the only 10 km course in the Faroe Islands that is DAF-certified. The course has been run for many years, but it was adjusted slightly when it gained DAF certification two years ago.
From the start last year
The categories are the same as they have been all winter:
– Women and men open category (– 1998) Faroese 10 km Championships
– Women and men veterans (1960-1969) Faroese 10 km Championships
– Women and men super veterans (1960-1959) Faroese 10 km Championships
– Women and men juniors (1994-1998) – 10 km (not Faroese Championships)
– Girls and boys (1999–2003) – 5 km
The route
The start is above Kiosk Vár. The route heads out to Sjómansheimið, where it turns down onto the quay. It then continues along Gulasteinsvegur and up onto the road by Føroya Banki, where it turns back out again. This loop is run just over 9 times. On the last lap the runners finish at Sjómansheimið. The young runners follow the same route but start at the 5 km sign and finish in the same place as the adults.
Bib numbers are to be collected in the canteen at the school at Løkin from 10:00. This must be done by 10:45. It will be possible to use NSÍ’s changing rooms in the basement under the sports hall. Showers are also available there afterwards.
After the race, Roysnið offers coffee, tea, buns and cake in the canteen at the school at Løkin. The medal presentation starts at 13:00, and after that Tryggingarfelagið Føroyar will present the trophies to the winners of the overall Winter Series. There will therefore be more presentations than usual, so we ask people to set aside a little more time than usual for this part.
Registration is here on the site until Friday evening at 22:00. After that, you can register on Saturday morning in the canteen at the school at Løkshøll.
The entry fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children.
