At 11:00 on Saturday morning one of the oldest races in the Faroe Islands, Runt Agnið, will be run, and it is also the starting gun for the Betri Winter Series 2017-18. Roysnið, which is organising the race, says that by and large everything is the same as usual. Roysnið stresses that everyone is warmly welcome to take part, even if you don’t otherwise plan to run in the Winter Series, and even if you are not a member of a club.
– Meet at Tofta Skúli, where bib numbers can be collected and registrations made from 10:00 to 10:45.
– Changing rooms and showers are at Tofta Skúli.
– After the race there will be a medal ceremony and a nice cup of coffee with something to go with it.
– Registration on the day from 10:00, but preferably online here – (payment by Visa/Dankort only)
– Fee DKK 50 for adults and DKK 30 for children
The following categories will be contested:
-Women / men open category (b. 2001 or earlier)
-Women veterans / Men veterans (b. 1963-1972)
-Women/Men super veterans (b. 1953-1962 )
-Women/Men ultra veterans (b. 1952 or earlier) (This will be a trial year for this age group)
-Junior women / Junior men (b. 1997-2001)
-Girls / Boys (b. 2002-2006)
The adults and juniors run just over 10 km (around Agnið) and the children run 5 km.
Please note – new!
As something new, the girls and boys will start 20 minutes after the starting gun has been fired. There are often few of them, and once they spread out, they often end up running very much on their own. Now they will start when more of the adults are close to the children’s start, so they can test themselves against the adults instead of running alone. From an organisational point of view this is also an advantage.
Also new is the addition of a new veterans’ category. This is a trial year with so-called ultra veterans, who are over 65. Hopefully more of the older runners will take part here.
Roysnið and FÍF hope to see as many people as possible in Toftir on Saturday. Good weather is forecast, so it should be really enjoyable.
See you in Toftir!
The new bib numbers, skilfully designed by Gutti, are ready for the winter
