Return Transportation for 66 km Participants from Pallastunturi to Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi
Return transportation for 66 km participants from the finish area at Pallastunturi to Ylläs is arranged with shuttle buses, and it is included in the participation fee. Buses will depart once they are full of passengers, so you might need to wait a while for the departure. The buses will operate approximately between 11:00 PM and 5:30 AM.
The last buses of the night will wait for all runners, so wait times may be longer than earlier in the evening. Plan wisely: pack some snacks and a change of clothes in your drop bag. The travel time from Pallastunturi to Jounin kauppa in Äkäslompolo is about an hour.
During night a separate circulating forward connection:
Jounin kauppa → Lapland Hotels Äkäshotelli → P2 Ihmisen Rinki parking lot → Lapland Hotels Saaga, approximately 30 minute round trip.
