21st Føroya Bjór Run in the town centre. On Saturday 27 May at 11:00, Treysti is organising the annual Føroya Bjór Run, which is for both children and adults. This is the 21st year in a row that Treysti has organised this race in the town centre during Norðoyastevna. It was in 1997 that the race was first run in the town during Norðoyastevna and organised as a town race. That was also the first time races were organised for children in various age groups.
Every year since the race began in 1997, turnout 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.
This year the race is on Saturday 27 May at 11:00. The children’s route is a loop of about 450m, and they will run one and two laps respectively. The adults run 5km on a course that has been measured and approved.
For everyone, the start and finish are on the road outside Telebúðin.
