Once again this year Treysti is organising the Faroese Half Marathon Championships in Klaksvík. Treysti has a new main sponsor, Norðoya Sparikassi, so the race will be called NS Half Marathon Klaksvík 2016. The race will be held on Saturday 14 May at 14:00.
THE FAROESE HALF MARATHON CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE NS HALF MARATHON, THE NS FUN RUN AND THE CHILDREN’S RACE WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY 14 MAY 2016 IN THE STREETS OF KLAKSVÍK. START AND FINISH OUTSIDE NORÐOYA SPARIKASSI’S HEAD OFFICE, AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO TAKE PART.
This year Treysti is organising the NS Half Marathon in Klaksvík. It will also be the Faroese Half Marathon Championships. It will be a so-called city half marathon, as it will be run entirely in the town, on a 5.3 km loop.
In addition to the half marathon, there will also be a 5 km fun run and a children’s race.
The start and finish will be on the road between Norðoya Sparikassi’s head office and Betesda. The half marathon is run four times north to Stangaskákið (Victor á Lakjuni) and out to Bumshamar (Torvgøta) to turn.
The fun run is one lap of this route. The children’s race is one lap around “Lítla Eið”, which is about 400m.
The half marathon course is DAF-approved.
To take part, you must be born in 1999 or earlier. To compete in the Faroese Championships, you must be a member of a club under FÍF.
As well as being the Faroese Championships, this is also an open race in which everyone can take part.
