The previous event\u2019s guidance warned that spaces could fill up as early as Friday. Travel to Ruka by event bus if possible; if that does not suit you, consider sharing a lift. If you need your own car, allow time to park and follow the signs on site. Do not block roads, junctions or emergency access routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collect your bib at the event centre in Ruka pedestrian village, Rukankyl\u00e4ntie 6. Every distance finishes in Ruka, but the 34, 55 and 83 km starts are elsewhere. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/nutskarhunkierros.fi\/en\/event-guide\/#saapuminen-lahtoon\">Event Guide<\/a> for getting to the start and <a href=\"https:\/\/nutskarhunkierros.fi\/en\/races\/\">Distances<\/a> for your start location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous parking arrangements as working guidance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous event\u2019s guidance named <strong>Ruka Parking Hall<\/strong> and the <strong>Ruka Ski Stadium parking area<\/strong> (Hiihtostadionintie 2 in the previous instructions). According to Ruka.fi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruka.fi\/en\/travelling-to-kuusamo\/getting-around\/ruka-parking-hall\">Ruka Parking Hall<\/a> has 320 spaces, with entrances from Rukatunturintie and Rukankyl\u00e4ntie. Parking in the hall is paid. Follow the event signs for use of the Ski Stadium area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a starting point based on current information and the previous event\u2019s published guidance. It will be updated if the 2027 event arrangements change. Before travelling, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruka.fi\/en\/travelling-to-kuusamo\/getting-around\/parking\">Ruka-Kuusamo parking information<\/a> for current prices, restrictions and electric vehicle charging. The 320 spaces are the hall\u2019s capacity, not an allocation reserved for the event or a promise of an available space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starts outside Ruka, choose the start bus from Ruka first, then consider sharing a lift. If you need a car for Oulanka, the working guidance is to use <strong>the park-and-ride area at Korpihovi in K\u00e4yl\u00e4<\/strong>, with onward transport to the Oulanka start area as at the previous event. Do not plan to park directly at the Visitor Centre. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/nutskarhunkierros.fi\/en\/getting-here\/\">Getting here<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/nutskarhunkierros.fi\/en\/oulanka-national-park-and-karhunkierros\/\">Oulanka guidance<\/a>. Parking at Napapiiri is limited, and traffic arrangements in Juuma may restrict access towards Basecamp.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parking in Ruka Parking in Ruka pedestrian village is limited during the event.
