ExtremeRun — Vantaa / Hakunila

Reports and event feedback

• Sonja Luhtanen — a relaxed group outing at Hakunila ↗

  Sonja Luhtanen / selected participant quotation in Yle reporting · 2018

  Says the relaxed atmosphere brings her back and enjoys participants moving through the course together without taking the competition too seriously.

  The complete relevant original Yle article identifies Extremerun on Hakunila trails and quotes Sonja as a participant. Its original publication metadata is 6 May 2018, reporting the previous Saturday 5 May; posting and race dates remain distinct. Her exact distance, class, official result and funding are unknown. This is one short selected voice in one publication, not a representative survey. Other events and organizer remarks in the article do not become additional Hakunila athlete accounts. No numerical overall.

• Anni — enjoyable obstacles on two hilly laps ↗

  Anni / Anni Liikuttaa; participant and event volunteer · 2016

  Enjoys the obstacles and the satisfaction of completing two laps. Describes a hilly course and river crossings, finding the early heat and cold-water transition difficult, and prefers starting near the front to avoid obstacle queues.

  The complete original article explicitly identifies Vantaa/Hakunila and reports two eight-kilometre laps in the recreational category. She also helps prepare and dismantle ExtremeRun courses, so the volunteer affiliation is retained. Exact raced day, official result and entry funding are unknown. Reported placing and elapsed time are sporting outcomes, not satisfaction ratings. Her account of other years/properties is not silently transferred to 2026. Health, nutrition and training advice are excluded. The monthly archive and permalink are the same publication; no numerical overall.

• The organizer’s adult description gives an approximately four-kilometre loop and one to three laps as desired, with competitive and recreational entries. It does not establish a measured local route or exact obstacle inventory. Optional obstacles are distinguished from the requirement to complete all obstacles for podium eligibility.
• Both linked entry pages now display the same organizer announcement that ExtremeRun is taking 2027 off. Hopes for returning to several cities in 2028 are not confirmed dates or programmes. One announcement across two URLs is not two athlete accounts.
• The calendar’s 13–14 June window includes the adult event on Saturday 13 June and a separate children’s programme on Sunday 14 June. The original announcement names Hakunila Sports Park and the adult 13:00 start. The children’s day is not a second adult race.
• Yle’s original May 2018 report identifies Hakunila and a selected participant’s relaxed group experience. Earlier 2013 Vantaa river-crossing accounts remain unassigned because their exact property has not been joined to Hakunila.
• Advertised or participant-reported lengths and obstacle inventories are estimates, not independently surveyed measurements. Historical experiences do not establish an unchanged later course. The checked sources provide no numerical overall for this family.
