Church runs with Treysti and Roysnið on Christmas Eve morning

Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

In addition to the Church Run in Tórshavn, Treysti and Roysnið are each organising their own Church Run on Christmas Eve morning.

This is what Treysti writes on its website:

As in previous years, a Church Run from Kunoy to Klaksvík will once again be organised on Christmas Eve morning.

This will already be the ninth time this run has been held. Several people have run it every time. People have really embraced the idea, so it has been decided to organise the run again on Christmas Eve 2016.

We have no control over the weather, so it is always exciting to find out what the weather gods will serve up on Christmas Eve morning.

The run goes from Kunoy Church to Christianskirkjan. The course is 11.7 km. This is a pleasant social run and not a race at all. If anyone wants to run a shorter distance and doesn’t like running through the tunnel, you can start outside the tunnel entrance in Haraldssund. That course is 6.2 kilometres.

The run will start from the church in Kunoy at around 09:30, so that everyone has plenty of time to get home again before lunch. After the run, Treysti invites everyone to breakfast at Jórun’s bakery, where all participants are welcome to have a bite to eat and a chat about running before heading home to carry on with their Christmas preparations.

Participants are asked to meet at the badminton hall at 09:00. Treysti has hired a bus to drive the participants to Kunoy. Everyone is welcome to take part.

Remember your reflective vest and head torch!

This is what Roysnið writes:

Come and start Christmas Eve with a pleasant run.

We meet at Glyvrar Church at 10:00 and run to the church in Rituvík, then back along Agnið down to Nes Church, finishing at Fríðrikskirkjan, where soup is available in the basement.

The course is approx. 13.6 km.

If you don’t feel up to such a long run, you can run back to Nes via Agnið, which is approx. 10 km. You can also run from Glyvrar straight out to Fríðrikskirkjan, which is approx. 6 km.

See you there.
