Description
The NUTS Karhunkierros presented by Garmin & La Sportiva event has already attained an iconic status in Finland’s trail running scene. The event takes place in Oulanka National Park in northeast Finland.
The area is famous for its rugged landscape boasting a multitude of fells, white-water rivers, hanging bridges and wooden planks (duckboards) that pass over the wide marshes. The route guarantees that the event is more than a race – it is also a breathtaking adventure in beautiful nature.
The weather is always a thrilling surprise in May. It can be chilly and snowy or hot and humid. Whatever the weather, the NUTS Karhunkierros races are always challenging but also gratifying – ask anyone who has participated.
The popularity of the event itself has grown rapidly and is now the biggest trail running race in Finland to date. Over 2700 participants from among 24 different nationalities signed up for the event in 2019.
