TEAM CHALLENGE - Hill challenge for groups!

Team tactics and community spirit

Gather a group of people who love a physical challenge and set out to conquer the Messilä "Alps" as a team in August!
 
The Messilä Manor area serves as the event center, offering stunning views of Lake Vesijärvi. The recommended team size is three people or more, and the ideal size is probably around 4-5 people. If your community is becoming more diverse, you can also form one larger group or divide members into different teams. This is a relay event, where at least 2 people from the team carry the relay at a time. The relay is 1.2 km long and includes approx. 90 m of ascent and descent for a total of 16 laps. The laps are given a time limit, which always becomes tighter after four laps. The new lap is always started only after the lap time has expired, which allows for breaks for the fastest. The teams that have completed the laps within the time limit advance to the last, or 16th, round of the team event. This is the so-called kirikierros, where we see who is who in the participating groups. The fastest member of the kirikierros decides the winner – this is where the rest of the team has a chance to show their strength as cheerleaders! Therefore, it is a good idea for the team to think about tactics that suit their own strengths for the entire event. Will the performance shifts be evenly distributed among the team members, or will someone rest longer, saving their strength for the competition round? Will any of the team members be able to push and carry the team's performance through all 16 rounds!

Post-games

During the event, water and energy supplies will be available at the start, transition and finish areas. Competitors can also bring their own drinks and energy to enjoy between laps. After the race, it's time to do the laundry and relax in the warmth of the hotel sauna. Your energy reserves will be replenished with delicious pizzas and drinks from the Kartano restaurant. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to cheer on the competitors of the HOKA Messilä Vertical individual series on the fading summer evening.
