Kainuu Trail 2026 Heading for Record Numbers – Participation Limit Expected to be Reached Early

The number of participants for the Kainuu Trail 2026 trail running event surged to record-breaking levels during the registration phase that ended at the turn of the year. By early January, 356 runners have already signed up, which is nearly 57% more than at the same time last year.
