Kaukopartio Run
100 km

The 100-kilometer long-distance running event tests endurance and mental toughness. The start pistol will fire on Friday evening at 9 p.m., when dusk has fallen and a long night in the middle of nature lies ahead. Participants head out on a route lit by headlamps and the stars in the sky.

The route is mainly on gravel roads. The nature of the event involves self-help and unmanned service points are located approximately every 25–30 kilometers. Basic service is available, but the runner is responsible for their own progress, energy and equipment.

Participants have the option to leave one drop bag, which will be delivered to a pre-determined point along the route.

The darkness of the night, the silence of the morning, and the light of the rising day create a unique atmosphere. The event rewards not only the fastest, but also those who can control the whole thing – rhythmically pace themselves, take care of themselves, and keep going despite fatigue.

Participation includes refreshments at aid stations, timing, start numbers, and GPS tracking. A quality meal with drinks will be provided at the finish. Shower facilities and a mixed sauna also await at the finish. Remember to bring your swimsuit!

This is a race for those looking for more than just a finishing time. This is a journey where every kilometer is earned.

100 km route, service points and drop bags

100 kilometrin kaukopartiojuoksussa matkantekoa tukee kolme strategisesti sijoitettua huoltopistettä. Reitin varrella on tarjolla energiaa ja nestettä, jotta jaksat turvallisesti maaliin saakka. Ulkopuolisen huollon käyttäminen huoltopisteillä on sallittua. Kaikki huoltopisteet ovat omatoimihuoltoja eli paikalla ei ole kisaorganisaation edustajia.
