EuroGames Helsinki PRIDE Run 2016
#EuroGamesHEL
EuroGames PRIDE Run took place in Helsinki, Finland - Europe. The event organizers offered a 5km & 9.5km distance. Some athletes including myself arrived early and volunteered help to the EuroGames organizers take down the protective gates and position high-top tables. The atmosphere of the event was relaxed and a celebration of the weeks sporting events. 160 runners participated in the PRIDE run. EuroGames athletes ran together with Helsinki area locals which offered great impromptu on course conversations.

The city of Helsinki offers a unique metropolitan run experience! I would recommend bringing your own water bottle for an organized race event and trail shoes. View PRIDE Run Finisher Results here: RESULTS
