Kvinnurenningin running event
Once a year they arrange a run only for women. The women can run or walk 4.8 km. This event is not a competition, there are no medals or trophies for the winner. It is mainly an event just for having fun and because running is healthy. The event is quite popular, one of the biggest running events in the Faroe Islands. The run is called Kvinnurenningin, it was held for the first time in 2005 on 20 August. The Women's Run was held again in 2006 and 2007, but in 2008 there was no such event. In 2009 the event was arranged again, and this time 1070 women participated, which was a success for a small nation with only 48,000 inhabitants.
