LEPPÄKEIHÄS CHAMPIONSHIP 2024 The Leppäkeihäs throwing championship is once again up for grabs. The contest is lighthearted with a touch of humor and unofficially playful – though taken seriously as the championship is at stake.

There are categories for men, women, and those under 14 years old. Winners in the men's and women's categories will receive an axe as a prize, undoubtedly giving them an advantage in future years' Leppäkeihäs qualifiers. To enter the competition, sign up on site on Sunday.
