On Saturday 11 May at 14:00, NS hálvmaraton Klaksvík 2019 will be run through the streets of Klaksvík. It also serves as the Faroese Half Marathon Championships and is run on a DAF-approved half marathon route. It is a city half marathon, run entirely within the town on a 5.3 km loop.
As well as the half marathon, there will also be a 5.3 km fun run and a children’s race. The fun run is also a charity run for the patient hotel in Copenhagen, with the entire entry fee of DKK 100.00 going to Hotel Tórshavn.
The start and finish will be on the road outside Norðoya Sparikassi and Betesda. The half marathon is four laps, running north to Stangaskákið (Victor á Lakjuni) and out to Bumshamar (Torvgøta) to turn.
The fun run is one lap of this route. The children’s race is one lap around “Lítla Eið”, which is just over 400 m.
To take part in the half marathon you must have been born in 2002 or earlier. To compete in the Faroese Championships you must be a member of a club affiliated to FÍF. Although this is the Faroese Championships, it is also an open race in which anyone can take part.
