“With just over 100,000 residents, Lahti offers the charm and convenience of a small town and the amenities of a large metropolitan city. As a year-round host to world-class sporting events from Moto GP, to the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships, Red Bull 400, and the annual Lahti Ski Games, the city is accustomed to accommodating and hosting athletes from around the world.” – FNLDGRVL.com
