Successful race weekends concluded in Lahti and Jura
Two days, two race venues, two nations, thousands of happy finishers! This weekend, La Transjurasienne in the French Jura Mountains and the Finlandia Hiihto in Lahti were on the Worldloppet program. While the French member race took place on a 50 km point-to-point course between Lamoura and Les Rousses, the Finnish OC had to invest tremendous effort into a 16-km-loop. At the end of the weekend, we can say, both races had a successful edition in 2026.
