Five charter buses from around Helsinki area are available for Bodom Trail participants to get easily to and form the event center. Below links to the final sign-up forms to the buses. The price of the bus transport is 10e two-way, paid in the bus on the way to the event. The price includes delivery of your race material to the bus. This means that you don’t need to pick up your material from the event office before, and it also means that your material is not available in the office, should you of some reason request it there, until the bus arrives…

All buses arrive at the event center between 9:00-9:15. That should leave you nicely time to prepare for the start and to drop your bag to storage. Returns are timed so that if you are not slower than the slowest in the past two years, you should be able to catch your bus with some margin.
