On Saturday 5 April, Sandavágs Ítróttarfelag and Frælsur Ítróttur Føroya are organising a running race in Sandavágur.
This race is a little different, as only those who took part in the big event in the Vágar Tunnel, Runnið undir sundi, on 8 December last year can take part.
Stone from the tunnel
For the tunnel event, special medals were made from stone from the tunnel. When the organisers decided to turn the race into a fun run because of the unexpectedly high turnout, they promised that anyone who wished could compete for these medals on 5 April in Sandavágur.
Various categories
The race on 5 April is divided into various categories. These categories are based on the participants’ ages at the time of the tunnel run. The distances are as follows:
Boys -7 (b. 1995-) run 500 m.
Girls -7 (b. 1995-) run 500 m.
Boys -10 (b. 1992-1994) run 500 m.
Girls -10 (b. 1992-1994) run 500 m.
Boys -13 (b. 1989-1991) run 1000 m.
Girls -13 (b. 1989-1991) run 1000 m.
Boys -17 (b. 1985-1988) run 1000 m.

The whole race takes place near the church in Sandavágur. The two younger children’s age groups run one lap on the eastern bank of the river, while the two older groups run two. The adults run just over 5 laps in the village.
