Piirin myöntämä kilpailu 2026

Piirin myöntämä kilpailu is a national masters track and field meet in Salo, Finland, held at Salon keskuskenttä in June. It is for athletes aged 35 and over, with separate men’s and women’s age groups running up to the 90-plus categories. The program includes sprints, an 800m race, hurdles, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and javelin. Everything takes place at Salon keskuskenttä, making this a compact athletics competition. V-S Masters organizes the meet, with Salon Vilpas Yu also involved. The distinctive part is the age-band structure: athletes compete against peers in five-year masters categories, with hurdle distances adjusted for older groups, including 80m hurdles for many senior men’s and women’s classes.
