Welcome to Finland's toughest race!

GENERAL
The Porvoo race follows the competition rules of Finnish Cycling Federation and UCI, as well as by the Road Traffic Act.

An exception to this rule is the finish line that is closed from other traffic, where the left lane is also used by competitors. It is imperative to comply with this rule and the said legislation. This also applies to service vehicles. If service vehicles have to bypass another vehicle, it must be done where it can be done safely and in accordance with the Road Traffic Act. Service cars that violate competition or road traffic laws are removed from the service car line without any precautions.
