Bordering <a href="kavval://countries/6ff0029f-8521-45ff-9849-ab537e5b912d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Russia</a>, <a href="kavval://countries/8783b386-63f7-47f4-b547-95606a710dcd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Norway</a>, and <a href="kavval://countries/57ecd599-b58c-4312-b79a-5cbca8cfcde3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sweden</a>, Finland is known for its quality of life and development. The country, centered around its southern capital, <a href="kavval://cities/0cc4103f-b593-4f9b-bc8f-9c18f4bd3bc2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helsinki</a>, is a wonderful destination in the summer ☀️. Whether you wish to hike 🚶🏼‍♀️or enjoy a good rest on one of the country's countless islands, Finland 🇫🇮 awaits you. Winter brings a harsher climate 🥶... In terms of geography, this territory, dotted with lakes and forests 🌲, is flat in the south but offers more relief in its central and eastern parts. Similar to its neighbors, the <a href="kavval://countries/9f608f35-0a12-470f-874b-d13e0a864e10" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Estonia</a>, <a href="kavval://countries/49a47b81-979b-4c91-b068-cdbb1c196d7c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Latvia</a>, and <a href="kavval://countries/886fd25f-fe7c-41c7-afed-134e42fa9920" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lithuania</a>, Finland is very green! And maritime too, with its long <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shorelines</a> along the Baltic Sea. During the summer season, the population increases in the maritime regions (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/H8YqjK6djhHpDRhE7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">check this map !</a>) opposite the city of Turku, the country's former capital. Many people there speak Swedish 🇸🇪, the second official language... But don't worry, Finns speak English 🏴, just like you 😁. If you decide to visit Finland, your journey will likely start in <a href="kavval://cities/0cc4103f-b593-4f9b-bc8f-9c18f4bd3bc2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helsinki</a>, a lovely city built on a peninsula. Water 💧is everywhere. And since the city is very cosmopolitan 🌍, you'll have plenty of opportunities to toast to the beauty of the place! Other cities to explore, mostly located in the south? Espoo, just 15 kilometers from Helsinki, Tampere, a bit more inland, Vantaa, or Oulu... All these cities offer a lovely living environment, always close to water. A country as generous in terms of nature is naturally so for its fauna. The reindeer 🦌 (okay, it's a deer in the emoji...) populates Finland. Watch out ⚠️ on the Laponian roads, collisions with these imposing animals are not rare. Bears 🐻, lynxes, and wolves 🐺 also call it home... In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saimaa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lake Saimaa</a>, freshwater seals 🦭 swim freely. A sports-loving country, Finland is especially known for its motorsport champions. Rally fans will remember <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ari_Vatanen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ari Vatanen</a>, and Formula 1 followers surely know <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimi_R%C3%A4ikk%C3%B6nen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kimi Räikkönen</a>... The magical footballer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jari_Litmanen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jari Litmanen</a> is known by all and has made the country passionate about soccer ⚽️. Remember the former Auxerre player <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teemu_Tainio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teemu Tainio</a>... Okay, maybe that's a bit far! Ice hockey 🏑 is also a national sport.Find here the calendar of races in Finland.

The <a href="kavval://events/681d2205-01de-419f-8555-5496037ede7d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helsinki Marathon</a> is a road race that generously offers both the <a href="kavval://tags/city" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">city</a>, its <a href="kavval://tags/public-parc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">parks</a> and its <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seashores</a>. Multiple distances are offered, including a <a href="kavval://pages/36cb519f-4d50-4a8f-823d-34dbe17cbd40" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10km</a>, and the "Kids Run Helsinki Park" race is especially for children! Given the festive atmosphere during the event and the beauty of the Finnish capital, it's a race well worth registering for as a family or with friends. Also in Helsinki (it's that nice), mark your calendar for the <a href="kavval://events/dbe7d46a-9485-4b3f-b011-90cac37fad8f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helsinki Half Marathon</a> which takes place during the period of the midnight sun, in June. An opportunity to enjoy the charms of Finland even more... More challenging, the <a href="kavval://events/0668a7dc-bd1b-40c7-8e07-9a105f236d50" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NUTS Karhunkierros</a> offers trail aficionados several distance options through the <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> ⛰ filled with <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> 🌲 around <a href="kavval://cities/81014a12-eca4-4a0e-8f64-1bd249fbd3cd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kuusamo</a>: <a href="kavval://pages/e491137f-198b-4414-a832-7aefb0439dec" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">short trail</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/4ce0ea33-aa06-4ed4-98b2-aa5ee46683e3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">long</a> and <a href="kavval://pages/fe61e247-8c8f-4a66-b688-98099f2e8d75" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ultra trail</a>.
