Arrive conveniently by race bus
We want to organize Bodom Trail in a carbon neutral way. Most of the carbon footprint of the event comes from the arrival of participants. The most effective way to reduce your carbon footprint is to arrive by bus.
We are organizing popular race buses from several locations in Helsinki area. You can book the bus at registration or later. We warmly recommend arriving by bus. It is environmentally friendly and allows the capacity of the competition center to be optimized.
