On Saturday 2 March at 11:00, Treysti will organise round 6 of the BETRI Winter Series (VK-6), which will once again be held at Fossánes this year.
This will be the 12th time that Treysti has organised a Winter Series race in the north. The start and finish will be right by the school at Fossánes, as it is easier to gather everything in one place there before and after the race.
There will be several categories, and all categories start together at 11:00.
– Women / Men open category (b. 2002 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1964-1973) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1954-1963 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Ultra Veterans (b. 1953 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1998-2002) – approx. 8.8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 2003-2007) – approx. 3.3 km
– Women / Men Veterans (b. 1964-1973) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Super Veterans (b. 1954-1963 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Women / Men Ultra Veterans (b. 1953 or earlier) – approx. 8.8 km
– Junior women / Junior men (b. 1998-2002) – approx. 8.8 km
– Girls / Boys (b. 2003-2007) – approx. 3.3 km
The route this year will be the same as last year, and it means running on two of the Northern Isles, namely Borðoy and Viðoy. Adults run approx. 8.8 km and children approx. 3.3 km
The route goes from the school at Fossánes up to the traffic lights, where you turn left towards Hvannasund, then a few hundred metres back and down the slope by the ferry berth, and then south along the shore on the pleasant path south to the church, where you run up onto Sundsvegur and then all the way south to the end of Sundsvegur to turn. From there you run north to the causeway (Byrgingin) and across to Norðdepil and south along Oyravegur, which runs through the village. You run to where the road meets Hvannasundsvegur (the road above Norðdepil) and along that road north to the causeway and across, and the same way again, but this time you turn north instead when you come up onto Sundsvegur by the church. North to the causeway and across, but now you turn right, north back 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, in the opposite direction to 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: Registration BETRI VK-6 Fossánes
The deadline is Friday evening 1 March 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 site 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.
