Transportation

The closest airport to the marathon venue is Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Both Pre- and After-party will be organized at the El Atico dance studio in Helsinki.

Bus, which will take participants to the venue from El Atico, will also pick up people from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport on Friday morning. It can also bring those, who do not attend the Afterparty, back to the Helsinki airport on Sunday evening on the way back to El Atico.

You can often find inexpensive flights with low-cost airlines to the Tampere or Turku airports, but you would then need to take a train or a bus to Helsinki or Lahti. There is a weekday bus that goes from the Lahti Bus Station to the Vierumäki centrum, a 20 minute walk away from the Country Club.

Train tickets: vr.fi.

Bus tickets: onnibus.com, pikavuorot.fi, lsl.fi.

Driving your car (or rental or carpooling) to the venue is also an option – the venue has plenty of free parking!

Taxis in Helsinki are not cheap, but here are a few apps, in case you need to use them: taksihelsinki.fi, kovanen.com, lahitaksi.fi. Yango is also available in Finland and is cheaper than regular taxis.

Bus transfer to the venue

We will organize a group bus transfer to the venue from Helsinki on Friday, returning to Helsinki on Sunday. The bus will leave from El Atico at 11:00 on Friday morning, will drive via the airport to pick up anyone that had arrived there on a morning flight/train, and continue non-stop to Vierumäki. Arrival at Vierumäki will be around 13:00.

If we have too many people for one bus, a second bus will depart Helsinki at 12:30 and will arrive in Vierumäki about 14:30, just in time for the end of the Brunch.

On Sunday evening, the first bus heading back to Helsinki for the Afterparty, will make a stop at the Helsinki Airport at approximately 20:45-21:00, if necessary. The second bus, if there are enough passengers to warrant it, will drive directly to the studio.

Registration and payment for the bus will be separate, and we anticipate the roundtrip bus ticket to cost 25-35€.
