Registration requires approval. ​FAQ ​Do I need to be a fast runner? No. We run at conversational pace and regroup along the way. If you can chat while jogging for half an hour, you’re in. ​Can I skip the sea dip? Of course. Stay in the sauna, or use Allas’s heated pool. Nobody keeps score. If you have a heart condition or are pregnant, check with your doctor before any cold plunge, and feel free to skip it. ​What if it’s freezing? Then it’s a proper Finnish morning. Dress in layers for the run, wear something reflective or a headlamp (it will be dark), and keep dry warm clothes in your bag for after. The sauna does the rest. ​Where do I leave my bag? With us at the start. We’ll drive it to the venue, where there are lockers and changing rooms. ​How do I change for the conference?
