20th Føroya Bjór Run in the town centre

Every year since the run began in 1997, participation has been very good, and we hope it will be again this time. In the early years most of the participants were children, but in recent years many adults have taken part as well.

Because of roadworks on Skúlavegur, which is therefore closed, the route will be different this year, but the courses will still be roughly the same. The children’s route will be a loop of approximately 450 m, and they will run one, two and three laps respectively. The adults run just under three laps of 1.7 km, a total of 5 km, on a route that has been measured and approved. The start is at Akursmørk, up to Oyravegur, down to “Húkin”, up to Bøgøta and down to the roundabout and to Telebúðin, where the finish is. For all the children, the start and finish will be on the road outside Telebúðin.

It is also possible to register late at the Norðoya Sparikassi branch, no later than ½ hour before the races start, but the cost is then DKK 80 for adults and DKK 50 for children. All participants are asked to turn up in good time before the race starts. Everyone is welcome to take part, and Treysti hopes that the turnout will be at least as good as it has been in all the previous years.
