Gotland extends a big welcome
to all athletes competing in
NatWest Island Games 1999Athletics,
in these Games, is the largest division when it comes to participation, almost 300 men and
women.
All the Athletic competitions will be held in
Visby. The stadium’s name is "Gutavallen"
and is centrally located just outside the old city’s wall.
About Gutavallen
The area has an all weather range and is covered with ‘Skansport’™. A new
surface was laid during summer 1998. Spikes should not be longer than 6 mm (about ¼
inch).
We hope everyone will be pleased with the stadium
even though there will be some construction work being done during the competitions
because of the fire we had last summer.
Half Marathon
The course for the half marathon is beautifully laid out. The route is, for the most part,
by the coast. For outline of route, click here.
