Laajavuori Trail Run 2026

Laajavuori Trail Run is an autumn trail-running event in Laajavuori, Jyväskylä, offering two distances: 12 km and 22 km. It is designed for runners seeking genuine forest trails over road running, featuring hills, roots, spruce forests, bog sections, and boardwalks. The shorter route begins later in the morning, suitable for beginners or those preferring a less demanding run, while the longer route targets runners wanting more climbing and technical terrain. The 12 km course winds through spruce forest, crosses boggy areas on duckboards, and includes moderate climbs to remain accessible. The 22 km route incorporates additional elevation, rougher terrain, shaded forest, hills, and softer, wet sections. Participant feedback highlights clear trail markings, efficient aid stations, substantial finish-line food, prize drawings, a shared atmosphere, and nearby hotel amenities, including a spa for post-race use.
