Yesterday Frælsi organised the fourth round of the Betri Winter Series in Sørvágur. The course was about 9.8 km. Conditions were actually quite good, although the wind was a little changeable. 65 runners in good form were ready when the race started at 11:00.

The route went a little past Bøur and then some way up the steep hill to the turn. The pace at the front was fairly cautious, and several runners stayed together until just before Bíggjar. Then the young man from Sandavágur, Hanus í Horni Nielsen of Frælsi, picked up the pace, broke away decisively and held the lead to the finish. Hanus finished third in the New Year Half Marathon this year, and he has also shown his running ability in the Seyðamannarenningin races at Vestanstevna. It will be exciting to follow him in the future.

The veteran Sam Vang of Bragdið finished second, and in third place, somewhat unexpectedly, came Steffan K. Poulsen of Treysti. Steffan did not take part in the first round because of injury, but has gradually worked his way forward since the second round, when he finished seventh. Einar Gregersen, who won the last round, had been ill all week but still finished fourth.

In the men’s race there is a real battle at the top of the overall Betri Winter Series. The standings after four rounds will be published in the next few days.

In the women’s race, this time the contest was between Marita Andrasardóttir of Hvirlan and Sarah Vallin of Bragdið. Marita was a few metres ahead for most of the course, but as they approached the finish Sarah went past and won. Third place went to Hergerð Heldarskarð of Bragdið.
