Lahti Spartan Weekend & Para World Championship 2026

Spartan returns to the breathtaking landscapes of Finland, bringing the grit and challenge of a Trifecta Weekend back to the city of Lahti. Located in southern Finland, Lahti sits within the Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark, a region renowned for its stunning terrain formed by meltwaters from a continental glacier over 12,000 years ago.

This landmark weekend gains even greater significance as Lahti hosts the 2nd edition of the 2026 Para World Championships, showcasing the remarkable resilience and skill of adaptive athletes on the global stage. Once again, participants will race through tranquil forests and navigate time-honoured rugged trails, with the awe-inspiring Salpausselkä Ridge providing a dramatic backdrop throughout.

This isn't just another race; it's a journey into the heart of nature, where every obstacle is a testament to the fierce spirit of the land and the warriors who dare to conquer it. Prepare yourself for another unforgettable experience, where history, nature, and Spartan determination collide in a way that only Finland can offer.
