NUBU 10 RUNNING EVENT
NUBU10 is a casual running event in Nuuksio National Park, featuring a 6.7 km course. The event follows the “backyard ultra” rules, but the number of laps is limited to 10, and the running time is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
On the same day, NUBUmini will take place on a 4.5 km course from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., aimed at younger runners and adults for whom a longer run is a challenge.
The NUBU team is a team race for 3–5 runners, consisting of a total of 10 laps run in relay.
The Polku Hotel Event Center offers a setting close to nature and a 15% discount for registered guests.
The entry fee includes food, energy snacks, and beverages; a post-race sauna; electronic timing and tracking (30 runners will receive a GPS device; others can track their progress using their own phones). Children will receive a medal as a souvenir.

The NUBU10 will take place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Kurjolampi in Nuuksio
NUBU10 is an event where participants run according to the Backyard Ultra rules, but the event is capped at 10 laps. We’ll run 6.7 km laps within a one-hour time limit for as long as we have the energy, but the event ends for everyone after a maximum of 10 laps. This is a great way to get acquainted with the sport or to train for an upcoming race. Whether you run 2, 5, or 10 laps, you’ll have the chance to push your limits!
On the same day, the NUBU mini race will also take place on a 4.5 km course. This is a great opportunity to try out the “backyard” concept on a shorter course. The course has a one-hour time limit, so you’ll easily make it through even at a brisk walking pace. The NUBU mini runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., giving you the chance to rack up a total of 36 km throughout the day. You can also switch to the mini course during the day if you’ve registered for NUBU10 but find it’s starting to feel too challenging.
The event offers a great opportunity to train for upcoming running races and try out the Backyard Ultra as a sport. At Polku Hotel you can stay and dine over the weekend with a group of friends or the whole family.
The event registration fee includes a hot meal served during the day, energy and beverage stations, and access to the sauna after the run. All children will receive a commemorative medal. The event features electronic timing, and 20 runners will be tracked via GPS. All runners can track their progress using their own phones.

Nuuksio Orienteering Weekends at Polku Hotel
Helsingin Suunnistajat is organizing fantastic orienteering weekends for all orienteers at the Polku Hotel, located in the heart of Nuuksio National Park, from March through Easter (March 14–April 19). This is made possible by a snow-free winter, meaning the terrain is completely free of snow and also very dry. The Nuuksio wilderness is superb orienteering terrain and is familiar to many residents of the Helsinki metropolitan area. It’s a great place to train for events like Tiomila.
There are more than a dozen different training sessions available, either right from the hotel or nearby. In addition, Iltarastit Extras is available at https://iltarastit.fi/iltarastit-extra/
You can view the terrain of Nuuksio on the HS account on Livelox.
For orienteers and guests, lunch on Friday and Saturday is 20€ per person, and dinner from Polku Bistro’s tapas selection is 27€ per person. Make reservations for lunch and dinner via WhatsApp at 045 157 0824.
