Just a few days before the event, over 720 names are already on the start list. Last year, 489 runners hit the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trail running&#8217;s popularity continues strong \u2013 just three weeks ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/nuts.fi\/fi\/karhunkierroksen-mutaisilla-poluilla-juhlittiin-uutta-osallistujaennatysta\/\">NUTS Karhunkierros<\/a> saw a new record of 3412 participants. Also, the <a href=\"https:\/\/trailtourfinland.fi\/\">Trail Tour Finland<\/a> season opener, <a href=\"https:\/\/bodomtrail.com\/naista-viidesta-asiasta-bodom-trail-2025-muistetaan\/\">Bodom Trail<\/a>, grew nearly 10% year-over-year, with almost 1300 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s great to see Sy\u00f6te\u2019s rapid growth \u2013 the southernmost fell of Finland provides an excellent trail network for events. Even the Jukola orienteering relay falling on the same weekend doesn\u2019t seem to cause major trouble, other than a few top orienteers being absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the higher number of participants, the 25 km on Saturday will be split into two start groups. The first wave (approx. 200 runners) starts at 12:00 with those aiming for top placements or running at a faster pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second wave will start at 12:05 and also includes around 200 runners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All other distances have one start group. You can find the full schedule on the event website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17-year-old Ojala developing fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d71c47bb3f6&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d71c47bb3f6\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NUTS-KK-25-Rami-Valonen-PRESS-39-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NUTS-KK-25-Rami-Valonen-PRESS-39-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NUTS-KK-25-Rami-Valonen-PRESS-39-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NUTS-KK-25-Rami-Valonen-PRESS-39.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Juulia Ojala won the 13 km at NUTS Karhunkierros. Photo: Rami Valonen<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 25 km at NUTS Sy\u00f6te is the third Trail Tour Finland race of the season. From the women\u2019s and men\u2019s top 5, only <strong>Mai Helske<\/strong> (currently 3rd in overall rankings) is competing. So the tour standings are likely to tighten after this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helske is expected to fight for top positions at Sy\u00f6te, but the main favorites are <strong>Laura Heikkil\u00e4<\/strong> and <strong>Juulia Ojala<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ojala placed third on this same course last year behind <strong>Elina Halonen<\/strong> and <strong>Riitta-Liisa Roponen<\/strong>. Neither of them is expected to start this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had a great experience last year. The route has really runnable sections but also a few steep climbs and descents,\u201d Ojala says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course, I\u2019m aiming for the top, and it\u2019d be amazing to do well, but I\u2019m trying not to stress about it,\u201d adds Ojala, who ran 2:14:09 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recently won the 13 km at NUTS Karhunkierros for the second year in a row, although this time she benefitted from <strong>Riikka Tulppo<\/strong> getting lost while leading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ojala, turning 18 in December, has only been running competitively for about a year. She has a background in skiing and swimming, and now trail running is becoming her main sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy goal in trail running is to build a long and healthy career and to really enjoy it. I\u2019d love to compete abroad someday and see where my potential can take me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How well does track speed carry over to trails?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 38, <strong>Laura Heikkil\u00e4<\/strong> is a new name in trail running. She has been a regular 10,000-meter finalist at the Finnish national championships (PB 36:55.78) and nearly broke the 3-hour mark on her first road marathon (3:01.57) last fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could pretty much say this is my first trail running event. I did a short 6 km trail race last fall, but that was it. I\u2019ve followed trail events on social media and they always seem to have such a great vibe. I picked Sy\u00f6te because the timing fit \u2013 and I\u2019ve heard the route is mostly very runnable,\u201d says Heikkil\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, she\u2019s interested in moderate-length trail events like Sy\u00f6te\u2019s 25 km. Will she race to enjoy or to win?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe plan is to enjoy the summer and vacation vibes&#8230; but we\u2019ll see once the bib is on. I\u2019m excited to try this out!\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other expected front-runners include <strong>Charlotte Rautio<\/strong>, <strong>Greta Sariola<\/strong>, and <strong>Ella Keski-Panula<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eetu Nordman eager to hit the trails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the men\u2019s 25 km, last year\u2019s winner <strong>Petteri Kym\u00e4l\u00e4inen<\/strong> and runner-up <strong>Johannes Soutukorva<\/strong> return to race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d71c47bec04&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d71c47bec04\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"511\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ATT-2024_kisakeskus-8482-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ATT-2024_kisakeskus-8482-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ATT-2024_kisakeskus-8482-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nuts.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ATT-2024_kisakeskus-8482.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Eetu Nordman\u2019s grimace at Aulanko Tower Trail said it all.

The runner-up, <strong>Risto Mattila<\/strong>, finished 22 minutes behind. Will the sub-3-hour barrier fall this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s possible, if conditions are good.

No time goals \u2013 just hoping for a smooth run with good energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTraining has gone well this year. I\u2019ve added variety due to past injuries \u2013 lots of skiing in the winter and now mainly cycling. I\u2019ve also tried to do weekly strength training,\u201d says Maarja, who will tackle the Eiger Ultra Trail 101 km in July with Risto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her toughest competition might come from <strong>Matroona Heikkinen<\/strong>, who placed second at Karhunkierros 55 km. Last year\u2019s 2nd and 3rd at Sy\u00f6te, <strong>Niina Halonen<\/strong> and <strong>Eevi Karppinen<\/strong>, are also aiming for the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 25 and 40 km races will take place on Saturday.
