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

This Saturday, 13 January, round four of the Betri Winter Series will be run in Sørvágur, hosted by Frælsi. The race itself starts at 11:00.

Participants meet at Sørvágs Skúli from 10:00, where you can get changed and collect your bib number. There will also be soup, coffee and cake at Sørvágs Skúli, along with the medal presentation after the race.

The route runs from Sørvágur Church out along the fjord to Bøur. On the way out the route follows the upper road (Gásadalsvegur) and then cuts straight down into the village along Traðarvegur. The return leg runs through Bøur village and back to Sørvágur, where the finish is at the same place as the start.

The course for girls and boys is 3 km. They start together with the adults but turn after 1.5 km. The adults’ course is just under 9 km.

You can register on the day until 10:30, but it is best to do it HERE before 22:00 on Friday evening. Payment is then made online. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 30 for children.

There are a lot of dogs in Bøur, but the dog owners will keep them in their basements between 11:00 and 12:00.

Round three cancelled and struck off
As is known, round three of the Betri Winter Series was cancelled because of the weather. The rules for the overall competition are therefore being changed

As last year, it has been decided that the rules will be set as follows:

• For the TF Winter Series to be completed, at least four rounds must be held.
• It is still the best five rounds that count.
• Bonus points are awarded as follows: one for five races – two for six races and three bonus points for seven races. It is therefore still possible to earn a total of six bonus points.

The team competition
The only change in the team competition is that each participant must have completed at least four rounds to count in the team competition, where it is otherwise normally five rounds.
