FIRST MORNING SESSION 

 With the teams ready to go and kitted out in the new Sun Run Collection and Ikoni Sneakers, we set out for our first morning session. Beginning with a short warm up run with a few laps around the first 600m trail. No surprises that our star team member Mustafa 'Musse' Mohamed leads the pack and sets the pace for the rest of the team.

 FINNISH FOREST

 Warm up complete and the team moves location a short distance away from our warm up spot. Now the team would run through Finnish forest and over cliffs in a more scenic route. With Musse leading the way, the team break off into smaller groups as we have runners across all levels and athletic backgrounds sharing in the experience. Our aim is not to race, but to bring people together and have fun and bond as we run. As the session comes to an end the team heads back to camp for lunch and a well earned rest!
