Aalto-kymppi on Saturday 24th of September 2011

Aalto-kymppi, the kick-off event of the Aalto University academic year in terms of sports, will be organized on 24 September 2011. The event will start at the Otahalli sports hall. The event, starting at 3.00 p.m, is intended for anyone who wishes to take part in the 10-kilometre race in any way they seem fit: walking, jogging, running, forwards, backwards, or any other way. If you wish, you may also stop to admire the incredibly beautiful scenery along the route or enjoy the music of the band Retuperän WBK, also playing along the route.

The course runs along the Espoo Waterfront Walkway from Keilaniemi to Otsolahti, and under Kehä I back to the Walkway in Otaniemi. The race finishes in the Otaniemi sports field.

Before the race, there will be a joint warmup session for all participants, and a prize will be awarded to the Aalto Athlete of the Year.

All participants from Aalto are granted a free technical sports shirt with Aalto and Rantamaraton logos.
