The venue is at the end of the road, with plenty of parking available in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pyrint\u00f6 Lodge<\/strong><br>Pyrinn\u00f6ntie 5, 90450 Kempele<br><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/G94yfmX6YdH2\">Open the map \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The venue can also be reached by public transport followed by a short walk. Check current connections in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/?api=1&amp;destination=K%C3%B6ykkyri+Ski+Resort,+Pyrinn%C3%B6ntie,+90450+Kempele&amp;travelmode=transit\">Google Maps directions<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/reittiopas.osl.fi\/\">OSL journey planner \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bib pickup opens at 9:15 at the foot of the hill \u2013 wherever the happy commotion is coming from. Please allow enough time to collect your bib before your category starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing rooms, toilets and the NUTS spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing rooms, showers and toilets are available at Pyrint\u00f6 Lodge. The NUTS spa \u2013 a hot tub and field sauna \u2013 awaits after the run, so bring a swimsuit and towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join the pre-Christmas spirit and feel free to arrive in suitably playful fancy dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start and timing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timed 6 h and 4 h categories have mass starts according to the <a href=\"#schedule\">schedule<\/a>. You may keep a little distance and begin once the start crowd has spread out onto the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fun Run and Junior Run participants may begin freely between 10:00 and 16:00. The final lap must begin before 16:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your performance is recorded when your bib crosses the start and finish line. The timing equipment may read a bib from several metres away, so approach the line only when you are ready to begin a lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new 2026 loop is roughly 740 metres long with about 40 metres of climbing. It runs across K\u00f6ykkyri\u2019s ski slope and forest trail. The route map and OutdoorActive embed will be published later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aid stations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two aid stations along each lap. The main station at the foot of the hill offers a broad selection of snacks and drinks, while the second station helps keep runners moving and queues under control. The detailed catering selection will be confirmed closer to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may leave your own food near the main aid station. Bring a distinctive or named reusable cup and a spoon \u2013 this keeps us from using a million disposable cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your timing ends when you cross the start and finish line for the final time. As the equipment may attempt to read new laps from several metres away, please do not remain immediately beside the timing line after finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prize ceremony takes place in the finish area once the results have been confirmed. Remember the NUTS spa too: bring your swimsuit, towel and recovery drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety and rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed safety, withdrawal and competition instructions will be published closer to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/#categories-and-route\">Explore categories and route \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nutskoykkyri.fi\/en\/register\/\">Register \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page contains the essential participant information for NUTS K\u00f6ykkyri.
