Noteworthy things about the event

It is organized in a national park.

In the Finnish National Parks, a stricter set of rules and regulations, than the Freedom to
Roam (jokamiehenoikeus), are to be abided by. These restrictions apply to everyone that
visits a National Park, including Downhill participants, volunteers, service personnel, and
spectators. You can familiarize yourself with the Oulanka national parka and regulations by clicking on
this link.

It is encouraged that you familiarize yourself with the general outdoor etiquette of how to move around in nature

The event itself already begins in the village of Ruka, from there participants, friends along for the ride, and other spectators are transported with shared transportation to the start location and in due time after the event, back to the village of Ruka. In between, we’ll enjoy a larger dose of swimming and recovery at the finish area. Story telling, speculation, and sharing one’s experiences is a vital part of the event.

To take part, you do not have to be a rustproof ironwoman or -man. No, the minimum required skills are decent swimming skills and endurance fitness.
