An open invitation for teams to join the event on 06 June 2008.
Twitchers / birders, experienced and beginners are being encouraged to sign up now for the popular Kuusamo Bird Marathon taking place in eastern Finland.
This successful, Kuusamo Open event is taking place for the 25th time. The aim of the event is for teams to see as many species as possible, while avoiding disturbing the birds and nature. It also allows the locals to compile a good record of the birds in their region.
There are two competitions, the 18 and 24 hour race. This is made possible by the midnight sun with the event starting at 00.00 on Friday 6 June. The teams are made up of 2-5 people of any age.
The event will be rounded of at the closing ceremony at the Congress centre during the afternoon of Saturday 7th June 2008.
