Tahko, Nilsiä · July 2, 2027
Finland's biggest mountain bike weekend
Tahko MTB is Finland's biggest mountain bike event, a weekend at the Tahko resort with routes from a short track to a 240 km royal distance.
The 2027 event runs on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 July, a week after Midsummer as always. Friday is the family day, at midnight the Night riders and the longest distance set off, and on Saturday the biggest field takes to the trails from the Piazza.
Every loop starts with about 17 km of fast ski track bases, short asphalt and the sandy forest paths of Nilsiä. At Kinahmi the trail narrows, and you may meet cows in the grazing area. The route continues on forest roads and paths via Kalkkiruukki, Lehtomäki and Tuulivaara to the Rahasmäki aid station, then descends toward Tahko before El Grande, a 3 km climb to the top of the fell, and the long descent to the finish.
Classic is 59.7 km with 1,197 m of climbing and is the most popular choice. Extreme rides it twice for 120 km and 2,600 m. Night is the same 60 km loop started at midnight. Supreme, the royal distance, alternates between 180 km and 240 km, and in odd years like 2027 it is 240 km. Challenge is 46 km with 908 m and Short Track 22.7 km with 521 m, and there are race and leisure classes for e-bikes too.
The organiser calls Tahko MTB more than a race, the mountain biker's Christmas and Jukola, and under the finish arch every rider is a winner. With eight series from children to adults and from beginners to professionals, the weekend suits anyone who rides off road.
On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from Tahko MTB.
