Finland’s northernmost Global Fatbike Day joint run and the opening of the Kiilopää winter cycling season.
Concept: Let’s go biking and enjoy snacks around the fire with a good group.
The joint loop leaves at 4 pm in front of the Kiilopää rental shop. Book your own lunch or buy a lunch package at Kiilopää Café.
The run is organized by Roll Outdoors in cooperation with Suomen Latu Kiilopää
Welcome!
