HAMINA TRADITIONAL MOPED RACING 2026
The moped competition at the Hamina Bastioni arena will start at 10:00 and will end at 15:00, according to estimates. The end time of the competition will be affected by the number of participating teams (registrations are open until 4 March 2026). The competition is scheduled to continue until 17:00.
The public's routes are the main entrance to Hamina Bastion (Raatihuoneenkatu 12) and the stairs at the end facing Rauhankatu. Parking spaces for the competition public have been reserved in the field area of the RUK main building (Kadettikoulunkatu 6) and on the empty lot of the former Central School (Viipurinkatu 1).
Kujansuu MC sells sausages and café products in the area, and in addition, Finnrest Oy (+358 44 240 3731, finnrestoy@gmail.com) will also be selling cold and hot drinks in the vault during the competition.
After the games, there will also be a raffle with great prizes, as usual. Tickets can only be purchased from the raffle vendors roaming around Hamina Bastion during the games. You must be present during the raffle or the prize will be re-drawn.
