A trail running hike or fastpacking is a multi-day adventure that combines running and walking. Running allows you to cover longer distances each day, enabling you to see more in a shorter time. The key to this experience is lightweight gear carried in a running vest or pack, making trail running hikes a form of lightweight trekking—or, as it’s often called internationally, fastpacking.
Essential lightweight gear and shelters suitable for this activity can be rented, meaning you don’t need to buy everything upfront. This makes it easier to try out the activity without a significant investment.
In summer 2025, Saimaa Trails offers two multi-day trail running tours and three one-day tours. We also provide tailored trail running adventures for private groups, clubs, or work teams.
