The annual Suunnistusmaraton – Orienteering Marathon held in Jämi brings orienteers of all ages and skill levels to the forests of Hämeenkangas. The Orienteering Marathon is organized by Ikaalisten Nouseva Voima.
The Orienteering Marathon will be held in Jämi again in the fall of 2025 on Sunday, October 26, but in the coming years, the event will be moved elsewhere due to preparations for the Jukola relay.
The Orienteering Marathon was first held in 2007. Over the years, it has grown from a gathering of just under a hundred people to a highly anticipated event attracting several hundred participants. There are competition series for ages 12 to 85. Anyone can participate in the fitness series in which you can choose a course ranging from five kilometers to 25 kilometers.
