Registration for the 2027 championships

Registration opens on 1 November 2026 and closes on Wednesday 30 June 2027 at 10:00 PM (Finnish time).

Registration is done entirely in the online store; there is no separate form. Choose your series, fill in the competitor details and pay the participation fee. You will receive a confirmation by email.

Series and participation fees

  • Main series, Women’s main series, +40 years series and Sprint: €55 per pair (carrier and wife)
  • Team series: €160 per team (three carriers and one wife)

The participation fee includes weekend passes to the event for the competitors. Each series is a separate registration: if the same pair takes part in several series, each one is paid separately.
