We started into an easy day after a gorgeous sunrise in Sääksjärvi - mainly relaxing, running in beautiful natural surroundings, then camping as usual in the evening, with volleyball and sauna.

A useful gift of running socks from our Finnish friends!

As we entered Tampere, a radio station was broadcasting live from the road.

Journalists also ran!
A good local marathon runner joined us in Ylöjärvi, and together we reached the regional border.
