Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a national Finnish athletics series for children and young people, organized annually in over 500 local venues nationwide. It caters to ages 5 to 15, serving as an accessible local competition. Metsä Group is the title partner, and the Finnish Athletics Federation supports the national program. The events attract over 25,000 participants, representing large-scale youth sport rather than a single championship. Competition days are designed for families and children alike: young athletes find a secure, encouraging environment to explore various athletics disciplines, while parents can assist as officials.
