A paradise for trail runners & adventure-seekers

On the ?tjan Wild Islands race routes, you?ll never be more than 4km from the sea. The sparkling Atlantic Ocean extends to the horizon.

We think the Faroe Islands is the most unique, inspiring, wild, welcoming & beautiful destination on Planet Earth!

At ?tjan Wild Islands, you?ll have ample time to explore the best bits of the 18 wild and wind swept isles we call our home. You are going to love this.
