I just confirmed my travel plans to my first Jukola. Now all I need is to be adopted by a team! I am M55 and usually race in the top half of my age class in Canada/USA so I suspect that leg 4,5 or 6 on a more recreational level team is where I should be. Any advice or offers are readily considered.
There is a runners bank of spare runners on the Jukola website for runners like yourself without a team or teams needing extra runners. Have a look and get your name down.

I think there is normally some sort of help desk place at the actual event where you can do the same thing. If you arrive at Jukola I think you'll almost certainly get a run.
The runner's board worked out. I will be #5 on the POWERFINN 1 team a recreational corporate team with a tent.
Great - maybe we´ll meet :)
