On Saturday, Hvirlan held this year’s Mannfólk Run. As in previous years, the race was once again held in the beautiful surroundings of Sandágerði and along the Sandá river. Unfortunately, only 25 men dared to take on this unusual course. That is a bit of a pity, as Hvirlan had put a lot of effort into it, and this is a good, fun, different and exciting event.
No matter. Despite the cold weather, running conditions were, all things considered, very good. And that hardly matters anyway when a race like this is on the programme. The men got wet regardless. Not unexpectedly, it was the two young Treysti runners Julian Gregersen and Gunnar Sivertsen who went straight to the front.

Behind the leaders, several others put up a fight. Regin Arge, Sophus D. Christiansen and Hjalti Eliasen battled long and hard up along the riverbank. In the end it was Hjalti who finished third overall. The other two took first and second in the Adult Men category.

Extra obstacles had been built on the sand. Here Terje Hansen and Brian Rasmussen are about to head into “Death Valley”

Terje Hansen finished third in “Adult Men”, but had gone off to the staff showers at p/f Wenzel when the photo was taken. Regin Arge and Sophus D. Christiansen were, however, keen to be in the picture. Regin was first and Sophus second. (photo: Hvirlan)
The men of Mest are real men indeed. They have turned up faithfully every year, and this year their best team finished second. The Mest team was led by Kári Weihe, who also won the “Experienced Men” category (photo: Hvirlan)
With a super team captain in Martin Sivertsen, the northerners in Dream Team managed to win the team competition and take the big trophy north to Norðdepil. Julian Gregersen stands in the middle, and the other two are father and son Gunnar and Martin Sivertsen (photo: Hvirlan)
