Over 250 trail runners signed up for Kainuu Trail 2023
Kainuu Trail's participants list shows that there are exactly 253 runners registered for this summer's event.
According to Event Director Jukka Liuha, the current registration situation predicts the number of participants for next summer's event of approximately four hundred runners. In 2022 the event gathered 317 registrations and in 2021 totally 420 registration.
- We will be very satisfied if we can exceed that number of 400 runners again this year. In fact, last fall we agreed together with Metsähallitus that only a maximum of 600 runners can participate in this year's event. This decision was made in good cooperation, so that, if necessary, the stress on the Hossa area's paths and nature can be limited. I personally don't think there will be that many participants, but it's good for us to know the level of the maximum number of participants for the coming years.

Hossa - paradise in Kainuu - attracts hundreds of trail runners to enjoy magnificent scenes of the national park
“You won't find a bad fireplace here - there's always a postcard view in front of you when you sit down by the fire!" said Jukka Liuha, who currently works as the event director and route master of the Kainuu Trail race, to Mikko Keränen almost exactly 8 years ago by the evening campfire at the Ala-Valkeinen wilderness hut.
The organizers of the Lost In Kainuu Adventure Race had set out for a trip to get to know the possible adventure race’s terrain on the snowy March day in 2015. In the morning, the trip had started from the Hossa Visitor Centre via Iikoski and Kangaslampi to the Puukkojärvi wilderness hut. After lunch, the journey had continued around Jatkonvaara to Lake Pitkä-Hoilua and from there to the overnight place at Ala-Valkeinen.
