On Saturday 3 February at 11:00, Bragdið and FÍF are organising a race in Hoydalar that is both the Faroese Cross-Country Championships and round 5 of the Betri Winter Series. This will be the eighth year that the Faroese Cross-Country Championships are held in beautiful, sheltered Hoydalar, right in front of Studentaskúlin, which will also host the event. There will be changing rooms and showers, bib collection and a good cup of coffee afterwards.
The race is run on soft ground all the way round. The only asphalt on the course is where runners cross the road up into and down out of the wooded area. But something soft will be laid on the road there, so you can run the whole way in spikes if you wish.
We recommend running in shoes with a rugged sole or in spikes.
The course as it was drawn for the first race in Hoydalar in 2011. It has been changed slightly with a loop on the field. Marker stakes and barrier tape show the right way
The race is six laps of a good 1300 metres, or just about eight kilometres in total. The children run two laps. Registration is online at THIS LINK by Friday at 22:00 at the latest. You can also register for the race on Saturday morning at the venue from 10:00 to 10:30.
The start and finish are on the field in front of Studentaskúlin. The children run two laps, or about 2.7 km in total. Hans, Oddvør and Hans Erland have all three been very dedicated in the Winter Series in recent years.
