RacingThePlanet: Lapland by RacingThePlanet 2022

In August 2022, the RacingThePlanet Ultramarathon will take place in Lapland, Finland. The 250km / 155 mile course takes racers through the last wilderness of Europe showcasing some of the most breathtaking highlights of Lapland that will take your mind off the challenge of the race and the 3,500 meters / 11,500 feet of elevation gain and loss. The course goes across the famous "Seven Fells" (originating from the Old Norse world "fjall", a fell is a peak that goes above the alpine tree line), including Yllästunturi fell which is the highest at 719m / 2,359 feet and is a landmark of western Lapland where you have spectacular views across Yllas and Finnish Lapland. You will also sleep in a reindeer corral, pass the point where the Olympic Torch was lit in 1952, run on duckboards over lakes and along rivers, go through forests with trees that are more than 500 years old and maybe even have a Finnish sauna.
