We started in Ikaalinen and met the first runners at the regional border of Parkano. They joined us all the way to the main square of Parkano.

We were welcomed by a marathon club in Ilmajoki. We stopped for a short meeting in the city centre, where the city representative met us.

A very special convergence occurred - one participant was over 75 years old and another one was 1 year old! That's probably the greatest range of age we have ever had! The torch ended up in a special device...

They ran all the way to regional border, where more runners from Seinäjoki took over.
