On the Eerikkilä Trail Run, you can get to know the Häme Lake Uplands holistically. The routes run through the terrain of the Ruostejärvi recreation area and Liesjärvi National Park, following the paths of the legendary Häme Ilvesreitti.
Our event has grown year by year, but we do not want to grow into a mass event this year either. The number of runners in the first year in 2018 was 113 participants, in 2019 192 runners registered but the bad weather cut the crowd off the starting line. This year, our goal is to get 200 runners on the journey to the magnificent scenery of Eerikkilä.
The event center is Eerikkilä Sport & Outdoor Resort with its diverse services. The event center also serves as a starting and finishing area of the race.
