On Saturday 10 February at 11:00, Treysti will host round 6 of the TF Winter Series (VK6), which will once again be held at Fossánes.
This will be the 11th time Treysti has hosted a Winter Series race in the north. The start and finish will be right by the school at Fossánes, as it makes it easier to keep everything in one place before and after the race.
Runners will compete in different categories, and all categories start together at 11:00.
– Women / Men open category (b. -2001) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1963-1972) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1953-1962 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Ultra Veterans (b. 1952 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1998-2001) – approx. 8.8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 2002-2006) – approx. 3.3 km
This year’s route is the same as last year’s, and it takes in two of the Northern Isles, namely Borðoy and Viðoy. Adults run approx. 8.8 km and children approx. 3.3 km.
The start last year
The route runs from the school at Fossánes up to the lit bend, where runners turn left towards Hvannasund, then a few hundred metres further on and down the hill by the ferry landing, and then south along the shore on the pleasant path to the church, where runners go up onto Sundsvegur and then all the way south to the end of Sundsvegur to turn. From there the route goes north to the causeway (Byrgingin), across to Norðdepil and south along Oyravegur, which runs through the village. Runners continue to where the road meets Hvannasundsvegur (the road above Norðdepil), and along that road north to the causeway, back across and the same way, but this time turning north instead on reaching Sundsvegur by the church. North to the causeway and across, but now turning right and back north to the school, where the finish is.
The children run the same route as the adults as far as the church. There the children turn north, back towards the adults, who turn south. The children then run north to the causeway, across it and north to the finish by the school.
Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place in all categories. As usual, registration takes place on the FÍF website (www.fif.fo).
The registration link is here: Tilmelding TF VK-6 Fossánes
The deadline is Friday evening 9 February at 22:00. The entry fee is the usual, i.e. DKK 50 for adults and DKK 30 for children. You can also register on the day (at the school) half an hour before the start.
Participants are asked to arrive at the school at Fossánes from 10:00. Bib numbers must be collected by 10:45 at the latest. Changing rooms and showers are available at the school. After the race there will be refreshments and the medal ceremony in the school canteen.
Treysti hopes for a big turnout, as the race is also a fun run that everyone can take part in.
These were the leaders last year
The “Hjalmar train” will most likely be back again this time
Sunneva on her way through Norðdepil village. This is roughly halfway round the course.
Hopefully we will see these loyal young runners at Fossánes
