Hello trail runner!

Midwinter greetings from Reisjärvi! At the end of the year, it's nice to look back on last summer and the trails of Peura Trail. It was incredible to have over 200 of you runners join the event.

Thank you for the responses to the feedback survey (almost half responded!). In summary, we could say that you were very satisfied with the event and the arrangements in many respects. There were two areas in particular that needed improvement. The route descriptions did not provide a sufficient picture of the technicality of the trails and the route markings were not clear and visible enough. We will learn from the feedback and fix these issues for next summer's event!

Here are some excerpts from public feedback. Thank you!
"A well-organized and nicely relaxed event that even an inexperienced trail runner enjoyed participating in."
“The technical trail provided a challenge. This is why you don't have to go to Lapland to run. It was worth coming from further afield for the event.” 
"The first trail running event that sparked my interest in the sport. A very strong recommendation for anyone who wants to come and admire the rugged, beautiful landscapes of Suomenselkä."

At this point we can turn our attention to next summer's Peura Trail. The most significant new feature is the addition of the first ultra-distance to the route selection: 51 km Suunnaton Suurijärvi! In addition, some changes have been made to the 23 km (previously 22 km) and 37 km routes.

You are warmly welcome to the 2025 Peura Trail on Saturday, July 5th! The first price tier closes at the turn of the year, so the cheapest prices are still available for a while. Register now at https://www.peuratrail.fi/ilmoittautuminen/peura-trail/

Trail running greetings,
