The 66 KM race finishes at the foot of Pallastunturi, and a free return shuttle to Ylläs is provided for runners from the finish area.
Return shuttles depart from the Pallas Finish Area and arrive at Jounin Kauppa. The buses operate between 23:00 on Friday and 05:00 on Saturday. The journey takes approximately one hour. No advance booking is required, and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please be prepared to wait for the shuttle departure by bringing warm clothing and snacks, if needed. The last shuttle of the night will wait for all remaining runners to arrive at the finish before departing.
A connecting shuttle will transport 66 KM runners to the Ylläs area during the night. As the courtyard of Jounin Kauppa is quiet at night, it is easy to find the correct shuttle. The connecting shuttle journey takes approximately 20 minutes.

👉 Most aid stations are located along forest service roads without proper parking facilities. For this reason, we recommend carpooling for supporters and avoiding unnecessary visits to aid stations. There are plenty of parking spaces near the Ylläsjärvi (Taiga) and Kellokas (Ihmisen Rinki P2) aid stations.
