Mass ski events are an excellent way to do sports, but also an opportunity to travel and see the world.

Now take off your hat, because we are going to talk about skiers who have participated all Finlandia-hiihto events since 1974. There are currently 17 such skiers. The oldest skiers are already approaching 90 years of age.

The Salpausselkä ice-marginals are at their highest in the Lahti region, enabling the renowned and diverse tracks for many traditional winter sports events.

Serving as a volunteer is a way of feeling connected to others, an annual tradition or a lifestyle for many people.

The races take place just one week apart and the traveling time between the neighboring countries is very reasonable. Meanwhile there is enough time to explore the best attractions in Otepää and Lahti region or just go skiing.

The city of Lahti has been awarded the Skiing city of Finland in 2023, not least because of the quality skiing events the city hosts.

In the second half of February we invite you to combine the races of Tartu Maraton and Finlandia Hiihto!

You will spend 2 memorable ski weekends and the cherries on the top are 2 new stamps in the Worldloppet passport!

The organization of Finlandia-hiihto will undergo changes for the 2024 ski events, as the mass ski event welcomes a new track manager. Additionally, the roles of the secretary-general and marketing manager will be combined into the position of event director.
