On Saturday 20 February at 11:00, Treysti will host round 6 of the TF Winter Series, which once again this year will be held at Fossánes.
This is the ninth time Treysti has hosted a Winter Series race up north. This time the race will again take place at Fossánes, because it is easier there to gather everything in one place before and after the race.
The weather has often played a big part when the race has been held up north. Runners there have experienced storms and flooding, pouring rain, blizzards, and calm and sunshine. Last year there was sun, wind and cold.
There are several categories, and all categories start together at 11:00.
– Women / Men open category (b. –1999) – about 8 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1961–1970) – about 8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1960 or earlier) – about 8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1995–1999) – about 8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 2000–2004) – about 4 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1961–1970) – about 8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1960 or earlier) – about 8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1995–1999) – about 8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 2000–2004) – about 4 km
Once again this year the race will go around the school at Fossánes. It is a loop course of about 2 km. Adults run four laps and girls/boys run two laps.
The start and finish will be in the same place as for the Fossánes Run, i.e. down on Fossávegur just before the hill up to the school.
The route goes up past the school, back down onto Fossávegur on the north side, then north along the old Fossávegur, and just before the river (i.e. on the south side of the river) it goes through the field and up onto Múlavegur through the gate there. From there it heads back to the main road above Norðdepil, down to the traffic lights and north along Fossávegur back to the finish.
The route (GG: the picture is from last year, which is why it says VK-5!)
Medals will be awarded to the first three in every category. As usual, registration is on the FÍF website (www.fif.fo). The deadline is Friday evening 19 February at 22:00. The entry fee is the usual, i.e. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. You can also register on the spot half an hour before the start, but then the cost is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children!
Participants are asked to arrive at the school at Fossánes from 10:00. Bib numbers must be collected by 10:45 at the latest. Changing rooms and showers are available at the school.
Treysti hopes to see many participants, as the race is also a recreational run in which everyone can take part.
