The annual Kalsoy Run is back on the programme. On Saturday 19 September, Treysti will organise the very popular Kalsoy Run for the 9th time, running from the ferry landing in Syðradalur to Trøllanes.
The start is at the ferry landing in Syðradalur…
…and the finish is in Trøllanes
As in previous years, this is not a race but an enjoyable group run. Some people walk, and some also do the route by bike. The response has always been good, and everyone agrees that this is a great outing that should be held every year. The first Kalsoy Run was in 2007, and we are holding it again this year for the 9th time in a row, and we hope for a good turnout.
“Sam” sails from Klaksvík at 10:00 to Syðradalur, and the run starts almost as soon as everyone is ashore on Kalsoy. The route runs from the ferry landing north to Trøllanes. The course north to Trøllanes is 16.5 kilometres and goes through all four tunnels. Participants are therefore asked to bring a torch/head torch. The stretch before the first tunnel is about 7 kilometres. On the rest of the course, the greater part, about 5.5 kilometres, is in tunnels. All the tunnels have reflective markers along the sides, which help a lot when you have a torch. All the tunnels climb uphill on the way north. The climbs in the tunnels get flatter with each tunnel on the way north. The road surface in some tunnels is quite uneven, so runners are asked to take care.
At the finish in Trøllanes there will be a good snack, coffee/tea and cake in the lovely old school there.
“Sam” sails from Syðradalur again at 14:30 and 17:35.
