Ruska Race is an outdoor event for the whole family, consisting of cycling, canoeing, and hiking. The start is from the yard of Lucky Ranch Saloon, following the MTB route around Lake Pyhäjärvi. The distance options are standard 13 km / long 20 km (detour via Kiimaselkä-Huttujärventie-Polkutie). The final stretch to Pyhäjärvi village is cycled on the road to Haapaharju bridge, where canoes await the adventurers. The bikes remain at the bridge for transport, and the journey continues by canoeing in 2-3 person canoes along the slow-flowing Pyhäjoki river. The canoeing section is about 13 km, and it is recommended to take a coffee/walking break at the lean-to. After canoeing, there is a hike over Soutajatunturi to Lucky Ranch Saloon, where the finish line is located this year. You can purchase a meal at the finish line if desired. Additionally, there is a mixed sauna and swimming opportunity.
Places are available for the first 50 people, and you can participate with your own or a rental bike. For more information about the event, you can contact Antti at Lucky Ranch antti@luckyranch.fi or 0407540683
