Nightfall 6K
Nightfall 6K is a special Friday evening experience. The route leads onto the rocky trails and forest paths of Central Park as darkness deepens and beams of light move along the trail. The atmosphere is intense and warm.
This is not just a run. It is an experience where darkness turns familiar trails into something new.
At the start, headlamps form a sea of light, music drifts in the background and the city seems to pause for a moment.
You don’t need special gear or an ultra background. A basic headlamp and normal running fitness are enough. If you run a 10 km road race, you’ll be fine here.
What does the route feel like?
A fast start, rocks, trails and rhythm. Your headlamp narrows the world to a few metres and every step feels more precise.
The short distance also allows for a fast-paced run for those who want to push the speed.
Who is this for?
- Runners looking for a different kind of trail experience
- First-timers wanting something memorable
- Experienced runners seeking a unique autumn run
Why choose Nightfall?
Because there are very few chances to run through the heart of Helsinki like this.
The trail starts here
For many, NUTS HEL is the first step into the world of trail running. For some it is one evening or one distance, for others the beginning of a longer path.
Intro Trail 6K lowers the threshold, 14 km deepens the experience and 25 km takes runners across Central Park as a full challenge. All routes follow the same trail for a while before turning onto their own paths – just like the runners themselves.
Participants are offered early access to NUTS Karhunkierros registration. It is the next step for those who feel the trail pulling them further after HEL.
