First year students checkpoint race
KUKSAJAISET is a checkpoint race that is held around beautiful Kemijoki at Rovaniemi. First year students from alla fields in Lapland UAS from Kemi, Tornio and Rovaniemi get to compete against other study fields. The checkpoints rates your skills, knowledge, team spirit and indulging in the race. The day race for the first year students is free of charge.
This years theme is "Time machine". The days checkpoint race consists teams from every study field and it is only for the first year students. (Note other students, check from below about the evening race for the continuing students!) The spesofoc info and time table is given to tutors who will info the first year students so you can ask your tutors for example when your team starts etc. The theme is "time machine" so it gives endless possibilities with how your team can dress or what your own teams theme is. So be inventive and creative!
NOTE! Make sure that your study group has informed us about your participation for the day race! This way we can make sure that every field will get their own time slot for the event and we can have tutors for all the groups.
