Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a nationwide series of local athletics competitions for children aged 5 to 15 across Finland. Over 500 events are held each year, with more than 25,000 young participants in total, so the series is built around easy entry rather than high-level selection. The format encourages children and teenagers to try different athletics activities in a safe, cheerful club setting. Event days are family days too: parents can help with official duties, not just watch from the side. Metsä Group has been the title partner since 2022, working with the Finnish Athletics Federation to support low-threshold sport and everyday active habits for young people.
