Beach area
The Kalajoki beach area is clean, safe and beautiful. Races will be run on sand tracks and we'll be using a special sand pulley which is low profile to use and stays in the sand.
Enough space
Kalajoki Hiekkasärkät has space for at least three parcours / coursing tracks. So we won't run out of space, that's for sure!
To do
In Kalajoki Hiekkasärkät area you'll find a large camping area, many hotels, bars and even a spa. There's a lot to do even after the final race is run after each day, so go and explore!
