AT THE CROSS LAPLAND MARATHON
WE INVEST IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK
Through our Official Charity Program, we provide invitational entries to the Cross Lapland Marathon to select non-profit organizations. Organizations use these entries to recruit athletes who pledge to raise funds for their cause. For selection into our Official Charity Program.
Most major charities have a set number of entry places in the Cross Lapland Marathon each year through the selection scheme. They allocate these places to runners on the basis that they will raise an agreed amount of money for the charity.
