01 / EVENT OVERVIEW
What defines this edition.
The dated 27 May 2026 announcement and the organiser-linked EQ Timing portal establish a distinct 2027 edition, including 60 and 30 km options and untimed 30 km touring. The organiser warns that routes and schedules can change. Times, when published, are local Europe/Helsinki, EET (UTC+02:00). A confirmed event date does not establish current trail opening.
The new 15 km starts at Taivallampi. Historical: the older course page adds a 29 km loop and two laps for the longer race. Unconfirmed: the final 2027 measured lengths, start/finish layout, elevation, feed points and course map. No historical line or organiser artwork is reproduced as the 2027 route.
Historical: Niera photographed Ilomantsi Lutheran Church on 24 January 2015. This genuine winter view gives host-town context; it does not show Pogostan Hiihto, its sports-hall base, the 2027 course or current snow. Original bytes retained; responsive display crops under CC BY-SA 4.0.
The current entry portal separates 60 and 30 km classic (P) and free technique (V), 30 km touring and 15 km touring in both techniques. Unconfirmed: final 2027 age categories, minimum age, guardian consent, seeding and individual eligibility. Select the exact category and obtain applicable conditions before registering.

The published timetable.
Saturday, March 6, 2027
Pogostan Hiihto · one-day skiing programme
The organiser confirms the date and the current portal lists both techniques. Unconfirmed: 2027 start waves, bib collection, 15 km coach departure, awards and course-closing times. The 08:30/09:30 starts on the detailed instructions are historical 2026 information; do not use them as a 2027 timetable.03 / TICKETS & BROADCAST
Attend with the live instructions.
Registration is linked through EQ Timing for the 2027 edition.
60 km classic/free; 30 km classic/free; touring classic/free, including separate 15 km categories.. Unconfirmed: exact 2027 category fees, deadlines, youth concessions, inclusions and final checkout total. The 15 km listing says “from EUR 0”; this is not evidence of universally free entry. Historical: the organiser’s indexed tariff page concerns March 2026; its direct page is currently unavailable. EQ Timing’s general terms call registration binding and fees non-refundable, with cancellation disputes handled by the organiser. Unconfirmed: the applicable 2027 cancellation, transfer and insurance conditions; read them before committing. The 2026 transfer/refund notice does not create a new 2027 entitlement.
Ticket checkoutTerritory matters

Official broadcast hub04 / SPECTATOR ACCESS
The pin is not the gate.
The rounded point follows the organiser contact page’s sports-hall map at Pogostantie 13. It is a planning reference, not a surveyed 2027 start, finish, car-park entrance or accessible drop-off. The new 15 km starts separately at Taivallampi; follow final organiser directions.
Use the organiser’s contact reference at Parppein sports hall, Pogostantie 13, 82900 Ilomantsi, for planning. Unconfirmed: final 2027 race-office, start and finish locations, bib windows, parking allocation and spectator access. Confirm the event approach before travelling.
Historical: the travel page describes connections through Joensuu, while the old instructions offer a post-race bus or taxi only if needed. Unconfirmed: 2027 public connections, equipment carriage, fares, reservations and last departure. Arrange the full outward and return journey; the included 15 km start transfer is a separate service.
Unconfirmed: step-free access, accessible toilets, adapted vehicles, dietary provision and individual assistance for 2027. The local-services directory is a planning resource, not a confirmed room, meal or accessible journey. Agree practical needs with providers before booking.
