Kajaani-Suomussalmi-Hossa-Kuusamo-Ruka bus connection will be very handy for Kainuu Trail runners |
Shuttle Bus from Kajaani to Kainuu Trail and Back on June 29th
Kainuu Trail in Hossa National Park (Finland) is a trail running event in the paradise of trail runners in Hossa National Park. In the Kainuu Trail, runners get to enjoy the finest trails, the best views, and legendary sights of Hossa National Park. The trail running event offers distances suitable for participants of the Orienteering Week, ranging from the 10-kilometer category for 12-17-year-olds to the 21-kilometer half marathon. For those seeking a challenge and endurance, there are also routes of 38, 55, and 78 kilometers.
This upcoming summer, participants in the Kainuu Trail can conveniently travel on race day, Saturday, with bus services, provided there is sufficient demand, says race director Jukka Liuha.
– In early February, we launched a survey on our website for our customers to find out if there is demand for bus connections between Kajaani-Suomussalmi-Hossa-Kuusamo. The idea actually originated from last year's customer feedback, where many participants said they would gladly take a bus to Hossa if it were possible on the race day. And surely, this connection would also work for visitors of the Kainuu Orienteering Week, especially those staying in the Kajaani, Sotkamo-Vuokatti or Kuusamo area, Liuha reflects.
It is advisable to participate in the survey for Kainuu Trail's bus transportation according to your preferences if you are interested in participating in Kainuu Trail and if the race day bus transport from Kajaani seems suitable. |
