The start is directly at the Vuokatti Sports Institute. Everything is available there (start number distribution, waxing service, catering, award ceremony, hotel).

The routes (long distances – 50km & 100km) lead in the first part (5km) around Vuokatti in very demanding terrain. In the second part the course leads over frozen lakes and in the third part through the beautiful Finnish forests, over mountain ridges with partly long moderate climbs.
