Finally our course is officially measured! 🏃♀️📏
This summer, a licensed course measurer visited Åland to officially measure our route, which is 4,689.20 metres long. The course is now approved by SUL (Suomen Urheiluliitto, Finnish Athletics Federation) and is listed in SUL’s register of approved courses for the marathon, as well as the 5 km, 10 km and ½ marathon distances. The event is also included in their official competition calendar.
What does this mean for us in practice? Just some small adjustments to the start lines – but the number of laps remains the same:
🏃 Marathon: 9 laps
🏃 ½ Marathon: 4.5 laps
🏃 10 km: just over 2 laps
🏃 5 km: just over 1 lap
So there you have it – officially measured, officially approved, and ready for race day! 🎉
