Pirkka Cycling will again be organized in 2027 one week before Midsummer, on 18.–20.6.2027.

The goal was to hold the event already a week earlier, but unfortunately a much larger event than ours had reserved the entire exhibition center for that time.

The main distances, the 210 km Long Pirkka and the 134 km Classic, will be ridden on the same routes as in summer 2026 on Saturday 20.6., heading toward the beautiful landscapes of Southern Pirkanmaa. Sand Pirkka follows its own paths in the same general region.

Also Night Cycling during the night of Fri–Sat 18.–19.6., the Family Cycling for the youngest members of the family on Saturday 19.6. and Adapted Cycling on 20.6.

The well-proven Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre will serve as the event center as well as the start and finish location for Pirkan Pyöräily.

Registration is now open!

Advance registration is open until 13.6.2027. Late registration will take place at the event venue during the event weekend.

Pirkka Cycling has been organized since 1978. The participation record was set in 1982, when nearly 4 000 cyclists took part. Today, the number of participants has stabilized at around three thousand. In 2016, a 21st-century record was reached when as many as 3 678 cyclists finished.

The event is organized by Hämeen Liikunta ja Urheilu ry (HLU) in cooperation with Pyöräilyseura Kaupin Kanuunat.

The 50th Pirkka Cycling event takes place from Friday to Sunday 18.–20.6.2027
