Faroese Half Marathon Championships on Saturday 6 May

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

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 the race is run entirely in the town, on a 5.3 km loop.

The race will be held on Saturday 6 May at 14:00.

As well as 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 the main branch of Norðoya Sparikassi 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 a good 400m.

The half marathon course is DAF-approved.

To take part in the half marathon you must be born in 2000 or earlier. To take part 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.
