Metsä Group Seurakisat 2026

Metsä Group Seurakisat is a nationwide children’s and youth athletics series in Finland, with events held each year in over 500 locations across the country. It functions as an accessible opportunity for young people to engage with athletics, rather than a competitive championship for a select group. The series collectively involves more than 25,000 participants. The series is organized through a partnership between Metsä Group and the Finnish Athletics Federation, with Metsä Group serving as the title and main partner for children’s athletics. The core purpose of the events is straightforward: to provide children and teenagers with opportunities to be active, develop fundamental sports skills, and establish routines that promote daily health and an active lifestyle.
