Nouxfest Trail

Get excited about trail running in Nuuksio!

Nouxfest Trail is an easily accessible trail running race in the middle of Nuuksio on 11 August 2024

The Nouxfest Trail is suitable for everyone

Nouxfest Trail brings a much-needed short trail run to Nuuksio’s wonderful running terrain. The event is suitable both for those who are getting to know trail running for the first time and for experienced trail runners to test their own pace. There will be a very interesting and varied route, which includes both Nuuksio’s lively favorite trails and delicacies known only to the locals. We dare to promise that none of the participants have run everywhere on the route.

Routes and distances

The Nouxfest Trail has two distances, about 5km and about 10km. The routes go from the Solvalla sports field in the direction of Meerlampi and Kolmperä. The routes will be finalized and more precise distances will be measured after the snow melts, after which we will publish the route maps.

The 5km is mostly easy trails in an area where the height differences are moderate. A few slightly more demanding sections can be tasted at the beginning of the route, but the route is well suited for first-timers and young trail runners.

The 10 km reaches an area that is completely out of reach of most visitors to Nuuksio. On the way, there are brisk ascents, the rugged nature of Nuuksio, and several sections of paths that are normally traveled only by hares, deer and the natives of the area. The route is nicely challenging and interesting for both new and experienced trail runners.
