TF VK-6 to be held in Fossánes on Saturday

Runners compete in various categories, and all categories start at the same time, at 11:00.

This year there is a new route, which means the race will be run on two of the Northern Isles, namely Borðoy and Viðoy. Adults run about 8.8 km and children about 3.3 km

The route goes from the school in Fossánes to the traffic lights, where runners turn left towards Hvannasund, then a few hundred metres along and down the hill by the ferry landing, and then south along the shore on the pleasant path down to the church, where runners go up onto Sundsvegur and continue south to the end of Sundsvegur to turn around. From there the route goes north to the causeway and across to Norðdepil, and south along Oyravegur, which runs through the village. Runners continue to where the road meets Hvannasundsvegur (the road above Norðdepil) and along that road north to the causeway and across and the same way, but this time runners instead turn north when they reach Sundsvegur by the church. North to the causeway and across, but this time turning right, north back to the school, where the finish is.

The children run the same route as the adults as far as the church. There the children turn north, heading back, whereas the adults turn south. The children then run north to the causeway, across it and north to the finish by the school.

Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place in all categories. As usual, registration takes place on the FÍF website (www.fif.fo).

The deadline is Friday evening, 3 March, at 22:00. The entry fee is the usual, i.e. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. You can also register on the spot half an hour before the start.

Participants are asked to arrive at the school in Fossánes from 10:00. Bib numbers must be collected by 10:45 at the latest. Changing rooms and showers are available at the school. After the race there will be refreshments and the medal presentation in the school canteen.

Treysti hopes for a large turnout, as the race is also a fun run in which everyone can take part.
