As part of the annual Spring Race, Roysnið and FÍF are organising the Faroese 10 km Championships in Runavík on 19 March at 15:00. This is also the 8th and final round of the TF Winter Series 2015/2016.
It is a Faroese Championships, but it is also an open race that everyone can take part in. To take part in the 10 km, however, you must be born in 1999 or earlier. To compete in the Faroese Championships, you must be a member of a club under FÍF.
While the adults run 10 km, the girls and boys run 5 km (born 2000-2004). Juniors (born 1995-1999), who also compete in the open category, of course also run 10 km.
As in previous years, the race is a good 9 laps of the course around Runavík: south along the main road, down onto the quay shortly before the roundabout, north along the lower road, and back up onto the main road just south of the Magn station, where runners turn back south again.
As usual, the start is outside Kiosk Vár, and the finish is by Sjómansheimið, a little before the turn-off down to the lower road.
The children start on the lower road and finish in the same place as the adults. They run just under 5 laps.
In both cases the courses are DAF-approved.
