Step into the heart of Vihti for an exhilarating winter running challenge like no other. This unique race invites runners to navigate a scenic, 670-meter loop that winds through the picturesque Finnish countryside. Participants are given six minutes per lap to complete their journey around this narrow but captivating route.
The event's distinctive twist comes in the form of warm glögi for those who finish early or choose to take breaks between laps. The goal is simple yet demanding: keep running until you can no longer meet the 6-minute deadline, ensuring a race that tests both endurance and determination. With up to 31 possible laps, competitors will push their limits while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners.
Parking for this event is conveniently located at Myrskylänmäki Daycare Center (Myrskylänkuja 2, 03400 Vihti), just a short walk away from Taustatie, where the race begins. The absence of poles along the route ensures that runners can focus entirely on their pacing and stamina.
Join us for an unforgettable winter adventure filled with scenic beauty, spirited competition, and plenty of glögi to warm up between laps.
This event promises a blend of physical challenge and festive atmosphere, making it a must-attend for any runner looking to experience something truly unique in the heart of Finland.
