Bus Transport to start line
For 83 km distances it’s possible to reserve a seat on a bus from Ruka to race start line. Reservation can be purchased when registering. You can also arrive at the start line by your own means – ⚠️ but note that the forest roads near the start lines are narrow and parking spots are sparse so we highly recommend the bus.
💧❌ No separate water station at the 83km start. Please fill your water bottles before arriving at the starting area.
