TF Winter Series approaching

Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

The popular TF Winter Series is finally scheduled and will follow the same format as last year. As always, it starts with the traditional Runt Agnið race, and this will be as early as the weekend after next, on Saturday 7 November. Next comes Hvirlan’s Kerjarenningin on 21 November, and the third and last round before the turn of the year will be Bragdið’s Argjarenningin on 5 December.

The new year gets off to a strong start. As early as 2 January there is Roysnið’s New Year Half Marathon, though it is not part of the TF Winter Series. Round 4 will be in Vágar, hosted by Frælsi on 16 January. Then comes the Faroese Cross-Country Championships in Hoydalar, hosted by Bragdið on 13 February, and just one week later Treysti hosts round 6 in the Northern Isles. The penultimate round will be in Vágur on 12 March, organised by Hvistan, and the last round will be as early as the Spring Race in Runavík on 19 March, when Roysnið is once again the host.

Indoor competitions in Iceland and Denmark, together with the World Half Marathon Championships in Wales on 26 March, have made it somewhat difficult to fix the race dates. Twice there is only one weekend between races, while there are four weeks between VK5 and VK6.

The series is nevertheless fixed, and we look forward to another exciting winter with exciting weather and, not least, the always very exciting team competition. The rules for both the individual and the team competition can be found under “rules” on the front page.

It has become quite a good habit to have good weather in Toftir when Runt Agnið, and with it the TF Winter Series, gets under way. This is from the start last year, when Sam Vang and Valborg Heinesen ran very good times.
