Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a nationwide Finnish children’s and youth athletics series, with over 500 local events held across Finland annually. Metsä Group is the title partner, and the series is run in cooperation with the Finnish Athletics Federation, SUL. The format emphasizes accessible participation, focusing on providing young people an opportunity to try athletics locally rather than serving as an elite competition circuit. More than 25,000 participants take part in the series events each year. The core concept is to offer children and teenagers consistent opportunities to be active, compete, develop fundamental sports skills, and engage with athletics through a local club. Metsä Group's objective is to promote daily well-being and foster conditions for a healthy, active lifestyle.
