Jesper Kenn Olsen the Danish National Coach has made the following observations.
“Its great to see this new IAU-initiative in Scandinavia ,it is an good opportunity to develop our talents and to show that we are part of the IAU community. I hope to see the event grow in the future and become a permanent fixture in the calendar”

This regional Challenge is a new IAU initiative and it is still not too late to enter at www.kokkolaultrarun.fi
How to get to the event (see picture below)
I am sure the Challenge will be a success and other regions within Europe may wish to evaluate the possibility of promoting their own regional Challenge with support from the IAU.
