The 1st T\u00f3rshavn Marathon<\/p>\n
The Bragdi\u00f0 AC invites runners from the Faroes and abroad to participate in the the Atlantic Airways T\u00f3rshavn Marathon on Saturday 19th July 2003.<\/p>\n
This is the first ever full marathon in the Faroese capital T\u00f3rshavn. There has been only one previous marathon in the Faroes. This was run on the island Eysturoy as part of the International Island Games in 1989.<\/p>\n
Half Marathon and Fun Runs<\/p>\n
In addition to the full marathon the races on 19th July will include a halfmarathon and a 5,8k fun run for adults and a 3k fun run for children.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the fun runs is to get as many people as possible to be physically active without being concerned with speed or times. The purpose is to have fun and to create a special atmosphere in the town centre on raceday.<\/p>\n
The Marathon event is a big challenge for the Bragdi\u00f0 AC. The intention is to make this an annual event. Some runners from abroad may take part this year, but in the future the Bragdi\u00f0 AC is hoping to attract many runners from all over the world.<\/p>\n
Mr. Jan Christiansen, the mayor of T\u00f3rshavn, will be firing the starting gun.<\/p>\n
Faroese Championships<\/p>\n
The full marathon also encorporates the Faroese Marathon Championships. Those competing in the Championship must be members of one of the running clubs of the Faroes.<\/p>\n

The Marathon, Halfmarathon and 5,8k races will start in the town centre of T\u00f3rshavn at 2 pm on Saturday 19th of July. The childrens 3k fun run will start at 2,30 pm. The start and finish for all races will be in the town centre of T\u00f3rshavn.<\/p>\n
