Choose Åland for training or competing! During the year, several fun runs are held, with classes ranging from elite to enthusiasts just having a go.
Many people love being able to combine training and competing with family holidays. In many cases, competition days are real family gatherings, where even members of the family not competing can find plenty to do. For example, Semesterloppet is a sports event for the whole family with distances for all ages. At the same time, the Kids’ Weekend in Käringsund focuses on entertainment and activities for children.
Road cyclists say that Åland is the Mallorca of the North. This is due to lighter traffic combined with ideal roads and beautiful natural surroundings. A total of 1,100 kilometres of public roads and 150 kilometres of bike trails are perfect for any-one who wants to get in a cycling workout on their holiday. Or compete in a bike race.
If your thing is crawling and running, you should absolutely take part in the Åland Swimrun, this year without timing. Choose between several routes and enjoy the experience in a group. Also Käringsund Triathlon is back this year with a wide selection of starts. There’s something for everyone!
Finishing off the season
Close out the competition season with a run in October, when the air is clear and loaded with oxygen. The 22 kilometre-long Kanonloppet (Cannon Run) crosses varied terrain. Or, to extend your season you can opt for the traditional New Year’s Run in Mariehamn.
