On Saturday, Tórshavn Marathon will be run for the 13th time. The race starts on Saturday morning at 09:00. As usual, it will also be possible to run a half marathon alongside the marathon. New this year, Bragdið is organising a “walking half marathon”. This is in partnership with Krabbameinsfelagið, and by taking part in the walking half marathon you are also supporting Krabbameinsfelagið. This looks set to go down well with people, as many have already registered for the walking half marathon.
Tórshavn Marathon will be contested in the following categories:
– Women and men open category (b. -1996)
– Women and men 18-39 (b. 1976-1996)
– Women and men 40-49 (b. 1966-1975)
– Women and men 50+ (b. -1965)
The half marathon will be contested in the following categories:
– Women and men open category (b. -1996)
– Women and men 18-39 (b. 1976-1996)
– Women and men 40+ (b. -1975)
The Faroese Marathon Championship titles are also at stake, and here the categories are made up differently. The categories for the Faroese Marathon Championships are:
– Women and men open category (b. -1996)
– Men veterans (b. 1960-1969)
– Women veterans (b. -1969)
– Men super-veterans (b. -1959)
– Women super-veterans (b. -1959)
Tórshavn Marathon is a big event for Bragdið. Bragdið will have a stand in the square at SMS from 13:00 on Friday, where last-minute registrations can be made. Otherwise it is still possible to register online. The link can be found here on the site under registration.

Cecil Weihe of Bragdið is once again among the favourites to win Tórshavn Marathon, which he has already won no fewer than six times! Here he crosses the finish line as silver medallist in the Faroese Championships over the half distance a month ago. Since then Cecil has reached a milestone and passed the age of fifty. But that will hardly stop him in his attempt to win yet another Faroese Championship title over the marathon distance
