      FinLine 2012 will take place from 2nd of July to 7th of July 2012. This time FinLine will be skated in Southern Finland from Hanko to Kotka. More information in English coming soon… FinLine  – an annual multi-day recreational inline skating event in Finland.
Arranged every summer since 1992, it is one of the oldest non-competitive long-distance inline skating events in the world. There is no timing; the target is just to enjoy skating and the landscapes of Finland. Everyone is free to select their skating group, speed and distances – the service bus is always available if you like to have a break. – Why not to join FinLine next summer?
To commemorate the 20th FinLine next summers FinLine will be a special one extended with two days. The 2011 event will take place from Friday 1st of July to Saturday 9th of July. This time FinLine will be skated across Finland from east to west along the Blue Highway starting in Niirala by the Russian border and ending up in Vaasa. There will be bus transportation from Helsinki to Niirala and again from Vaasa to Helsinki. The route is very beautiful and quite varied (some up-hills and down-hills — not very high though).
Our service bus is following the skaters all the time and it enables you to choose the amount of skating days as well as the daily skating kilometres. I.e. if you don’t want to skate the whole skating distance some day, you can take the bus instead and keep company with Ari, our nice bus driver!
Depending of the number of skaters there will be 3 – 6 skating groups going at the different speed (averaging 15- 25 km/h). Thus you can choose a suitable group to yourself and it is also possible to change the group whenever you feel like it. The aim is to get started by 9 a.m. each morning, with the slower groups going first, to be able to reach our next destination by 4-5 p.m. including stops for lunch swimming and other possible activities, in order to have time for our daily sauna before dinner.
To be able to have a cosy relaxed atmosphere the maximum number of participants is limited to 30.
Accommodation and food
Dormitory accommodation including breakfasts and dinners are booked by the organisers utilising affordable and different places by the route. I.e. during some night we will stay at a hotel, but some other night we will stay in a holiday centre, summer cottage or something similar.
Our service bus is following the skaters all the time giving water and some snacks (fruits, biscuits, pickled cucumber) during the breaks, but otherwise (e.g. lunch) the skaters have to take care of their food.
What does it cost?
The participation fee will be 200 euro including the services of the bus, transportation of your equipment during the skating, a technical t-shirt, and the bus transportation from Helsinki to Niirala and back to Helsinki from Vaasa on the last day. In addition you have to pay a membership fee to the Street Gliders for 2011 (25 eur). Furthermore there are the costs of the dinners and accommodations (including breakfasts), about 40 – 60 euro per day.
If you are not able to participate in the whole FinLine, but would like to join, you can build your own FinLine selecting the days you would like to participate. The price is then 25 euro/day (not including the technical t-shirt, which you can order separately for a price of 25
