University of Helsinki
On Shrove Tuesday, the 12th of February, it’s time to find you something that passes for a sled and head on over to Kaivopuisto, Helsinki! Students from all over are showing up for an action-packed afternoon outdoors – so why not you as well?
The most daring and ambitious take part in the legendary downhill race, where teams pilot their home-made sleds down the Ullanlinnanmäki hillside in the hope of winning the grand prize! They are judged not only on their run’s distance, but creativity and showmanship as well. Enter the race by signing up at www.laskiaisrieha.fi or on the spot in Kaivopuisto, but do it before 2PM on Shrove Tuesday!
In addition to the race there will be all kinds of activities including smaller competitions and live music. The hill is of course also open for casual sledders. The best time to enjoy the great outdoors is between 1PM and 5PM. Grab a sled, dress warm and come join the festivities!
