Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a Finnish children’s athletics series for ages 5 to 15, run as low-threshold local competitions nationwide. Over 500 events are organized across Finland annually, with more than 25,000 young participants. Metsä Group is the title partner, and the series is central to its cooperation with the Finnish Athletics Federation. The format is designed for local clubs and families, not exclusively for serious young athletes. Children and teenagers find a safe, encouraging environment to try athletics and develop sports skills, while parents can assist as officials during the competition days. Metsä Group has supported the series as title partner since 2022, aiming to promote everyday well-being and offer more children an accessible path to an active lifestyle.
