On Saturday the seventh and penultimate round of the TF Winter Series will be run in Suðuroy. This year the exercise club Hvistan in Suðuroy welcomes everyone to VK-7, which will be held at the sports grounds at Stórá in Trongisvágur. Smyril arrives in Tvøroyri at around 09:00 and the race starts at around 10:15.
The course is approximately 9 km long. The children run approximately 3.3 km. The adults’ route is as follows. The race goes along the riverside path (soft surface) up into the woodland, then on along the river up to Sterling. On reaching the road by the bridge, runners turn left. The route then continues on asphalt, i.e. along the road Við Rangá down to the main road and to the finish in front of the pitch at Stórá. The loop is approximately 4.5 km and is run twice, or approximately 9 km in total.

Girls and boys run 3.3 km. They start together with the adults. The route goes up along the riverside path and on up into the plantation. On leaving the plantation, runners follow the path and go up the slope that leads up to the road Við Rangá, just above the plantation. Once at the top, runners turn left and run back down towards the main road and across to the finish in front of the pitch at Stórá.

Registration takes place here on the website or at the latest 30 min. before the start, i.e. at 09:45. Everyone is welcome to take part, and Hvistan hopes to see lots of runners at Stórá on Saturday morning.
