The Jõulumäe Forest Run will take place on Sunday, 15 November, bringing running enthusiasts from Pärnumaa and beyond together in the beautiful pine forests of Jõulumäe for the 41st time. It is one of Jõulumäe’s oldest and most beloved sporting events. Come and celebrate this sporting tradition with us! It is a day when the entire pine forest comes alive with happy runners, enthusiastic supporters and the vibrant colours of autumn.
The Forest Run is open to everyone who enjoys being active. In addition to the traditional 9 km main race, the programme includes shorter children’s races (500 m, 1,000 m and 2,000 m). This year, jogging (slow run) has been added alongside the traditional recreational walk. Both activities cover a distance of 5.6 km, and no times are recorded – the aim is simply to enjoy being active for your own pleasure.
The races are divided into 18 age categories. Pre-registration is open until 23:59 on 12 November 2026.
