Suomi-Finland 15 May: Turku - Suomusjärvi
Welcome to Finland! We arived in Turku after a great boat ride (thanks to Viking Line who sponsored our trip to Finland) early in the morning. Our Finnish team was welcoming us in the harbor and we got ready for a sunny day...
Our first meeting took place in Piispanristi at the Piispanläteen koulu - school. Over 400 kids gave us a warm welcome!
...it took a while to pass the torch to all the kids...
...a very powerful run was the highlight of the meeting...
Thank you Piispanläteen koulu!
...three agents...
Our next school was the Vasaramäen koulu near Turku. The children welcomed us on a sport field...
...World Harmony Run gymnastics with the theme song...
...a quickly arranged relay run ended the meeting...
near Salo we met runners who joined us for a half marathon distance...
A great day came to an end. Thank you Finland!
