As part of the Fjarðastevna festival in Strendur this coming weekend, Roysnið is organising a running race on Friday evening, 19 June, at 18:00.
The start and finish will be on Fløtuvegur, close to the kindergarten and the village hall. The route goes out along Fløtuvegur down to Strandavegur (the main road) and then out towards Raktangi, turning at the Stranda Máling factory. The runners then head back in to the Við Sjógv neighbourhood, where they run up Sjóvarbrekka onto Fløtuvegur to the finish. The course is approx. 5 km.
