The end of May is approaching and summer is fast approaching. In honor of this, we have published a small checklist of where you can study the named climbs of the Tiirismaa Trail's 21 km route, and their classifications in the familiar classifications from the cycling world (5 – HC, from lightest to heaviest). The list also includes the length of the ascent (km), total ascent (m) / average steepness (%). For example, the ascent of Marta's hut is 0.7 km long, which includes 55 meters of ascent. This practically means about 8 % average climbing steepness for the entire ascent. With this you can even change the climbs of your home trails in your imagination to one of the climbs of the Tiirismaa Trail! All 9 climbs on the list are included in the 21 km circuit. In this way, 42 km can be enjoyed in two sittings. The 12 km distance includes ascents 1. - 3. and 8. - 9. The shortest 6 km distance comes from the list 1. Marta maja ascent.
Also new for this year will be the height profile of the routes, from which it is convenient to see the location of the ascents of the route and the height ratios and profile. The final route profiles, also for the 6 and 12 km distances, will be on the race info page a little later.
Less than 2 months until the sweatiest mountain party of the summer. Now at the latest to tighten the laces of the sneakers and practice the hills both up and down. In running, it's not enough to get to the top of the hill. You still have to come down from there with your own feet!
