Itinerary Suggestion

Day 1 - Arrival (from London Gatwick) - Saturday

Departure from London Gatwick in the evening (option from Edinburgh Thursday - Monday) to Vágar Airport in the Faroe Islands. Transport from the International airport to your hotel takes about 45 minutes. Arrival at the hotel between 11 pm - 11.45pm.

Day 2 - Tórshavn Marathon - Sunday

It's race day! Race start at 1pm.

If you are looking for a challenging marathon and not a flat one, this is the race for you! The perfect conditions the weather is calm, often partially misty and around 13 degrees Celsius as participants set out from the City Centre of Tórshavn.

The race start is in the heart of the City and you will run a loop of 5,5 km back to the start/finish. Half marathon and 5,5 km Health Run will run the same 5,5 km loop in Tórshavn. Then run north out of the city to the village Kaldbak and return. (Subject to change).

The course, which is free from traffic, is hilly and has two long hard hills just before the turning point. These hills must be navigated on the way home too. The hills are also part of the marathon course, but the marathon runners continue past the hills to a completely flat stretch of road along the Kaldbak fiord to the turning point in the village Kaldbak. The course is in its entirety a great nature experience and challenging.
