Piirin myöntämä kilpailu 2026

The Piirin myöntämä kilpailu is a district-approved track and field competition in Polvijärvi, Finland, organized as part of Polvijärven Urheilijat’s PrimaTimber summer races. The event begins in the early evening at Polvijärven kenttä, focusing on short track races, hurdles, pole vault, and throwing events instead of road running. The senior men and women compete in 400m, 800m, 400m hurdles, and hammer throw. Under-15 athletes participate in 300m and 300m hurdles, and also throw hammer. Younger boys and girls race over 150m or 200m and compete in pole vault. Veteran classes from M50 and N50 up to M80 and N75 are included in the hammer throw. Entry is free for athletes from the organizing clubs; others pay a per-event fee, with a higher charge for late entries.
