Metsä Group Seurakisat is a nationwide children’s and youth athletics series in Finland, held annually in over 500 locations. It is structured around accessible club competitions, aiming to provide young athletes with an easy entry into track and field, not solely focusing on speed.
The series gathers more than 25,000 participants nationwide. Metsä Group is the title partner, with a four-year agreement with the Finnish Athletics Federation centered on children’s athletics. The goal is to encourage children and young people to remain active, develop skills through sport, and establish habits that promote well-being outside of athletics.
