Sparkling carnival, which you don't want to miss!

ExtremeRun – Finland's largest fun run event

ExtremeRUN has brought joy to the lives of people of all ages since 2010.

In 2025, ExtremeRUN events held will be held in Tahko on April 12 and Lahti on May 17. Children's turn to conquer the track will be in Lahti on May 18. 

In the race, runners tackle an imaginative obstacle course – each in their own style! The heart of the event is collective fun, and every participant is rewarded. Along the way, you are likely to spot more colorful costumes on the participants than traditional running tights. 

Participants might also spot themselves on TV, as a one-hour program from ExtremeRUN will be broadcast on Nelonen (a Finnish channel).

ExtremeRUN is not just a running event, but festivities lasting from morning to night: first there's the competition, then the partying. With all-day celebrations, participants overcome the course, enjoy the cheerful carnival atmosphere, and party into the late night. The AfterRUN might indeed be one of the highlights of the adult event. 

You definitely don't want to miss this: come along and conquer the course or just soak up the bubbly atmosphere!
