On Saturday at 11:00 the starting gun will fire for round four of the TF Winter Series. Frælsi will be the hosts, and they are holding the race in Sørvágur on the same route as last year.
The race starts by the church in Sørvágur, and the route runs almost to the mouth of the Gásadalur tunnel, where runners turn and come back the same way. On both the way out and the way back, the route passes above the village of Bøur. Girls and boys start at the same time but turn at 1.5 km, so their course is 3 km.
The race categories are:
Girls and boys (b. 2000 – 2004)
Junior women and men (b. 1995 -1999)
Open category women and men (b. – 1999)
Veterans women and men (b. 1961 – 1970)
Super veterans women and men (b. – 1960)

Last year we had the most beautiful winter weather, but we still had to postpone the start by two hours while we waited for the salt to eat through the ice on the glazed road where the race was to be run. And in 2013 the weather was as foul as it gets, and for the most part it turned into a “single-file run” to Bøur and then a flying run back home.
But on Saturday the forecast is dry, with sunshine and a light northerly breeze. So we can look forward to a fantastically beautiful trip out west to Bøur, and Frælsi are looking forward to welcoming everyone out west.
Meet at the school, where bib numbers will be handed out from 10:00. It is also possible to change and shower at the school. After the race, Frælsi will offer soup and a cup of coffee.
