Piirin myöntämä kilpailu 2026

Piirin myöntämä kilpailu is a local track and field meet in Orivesi, Finland, held at Suojan kenttä and organized by Oriveden Ponnistus. It is also known as Suojan kisat and forms part of the Orivesi city championship races. The main meet takes place in late August, beginning in the early evening. The program features stadium athletics events, not a road race: sprints, 800 metres, long jump, and javelin are the core events. Younger athletes compete in shorter sprints, with 60 metres for the under-13 and under-11 groups and 40 metres for the under-9 groups. The competition is divided, with the youngest children competing separately and all older juniors through masters athletes participating in the Suojan kisat program. Categories range from children’s classes up to M65 and N65, covering school-age athletes, open adults, and veteran competitors.
