The Sarvenperän Saunamaraton near Kuohu in the Jyväskylä region takes a different approach to the sauna marathon format: a roughly six-mile walking route through 13 to 15 saunas, including shoreline saunas, tent saunas, and mobile saunas. Some may be smart saunas.
The event is explicitly non-competitive. Participants form groups and move at their own pace. Meals are included (breakfast, soup lunch, and a salad dinner), and all finishers receive a certificate of completion. A first-aid team is on standby throughout the day.
