Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a nationwide Finnish athletics series for children and young people, held annually through local club events across the country. It caters to ages 5 to 15, with over 500 locations throughout Finland and more than 25,000 children and youth participating. The format emphasizes accessible, low-pressure athletics, not a single course or main race. Competition days are family events where children try various athletics activities in a secure environment, and parents can assist as officials. Metsä Group is the title partner, and its collaboration with the Finnish Athletics Federation aims to make children's sport accessible and connected to daily well-being and active lifestyles.
