At the start of the anchor leg, Kalevan Rasti, Helsingin Suunnistajat, and Tampereen Pyrintö held the top three positions, according to major media. Tuomas Heikkilä briefly took the lead, but Miika Kirmula reclaimed it and won with a margin of over two and a half minutes over Helsingin Suunnistajat, though Kirmula said he did not know of the error until the last control. The specific mistake Heikkilä made was not detailed.
The victory is the first for a Finnish team since 2014, when Kalevan Rasti also won, and Kirmula attributed the win to the team's strong cohesion and improved confidence. In the women's relay, Västerviks OK finished second and Suunta Jyväskylä third, according to major media. IFK Göteborg's winning team featured runners from several nations, including Norwegians Ingeborg Mosland and Elisa Götsch Iversen.
Went well, only a few small mistakes. I was nervous. This was a good start for the club's race weekend.
The best Norwegian club was Nydalen in fourth place. Full results beyond the top three were not reported. In the youth relay, Tampereen Pyrintö's Saku Repo won the anchor leg after starting from fourth place, 34 seconds behind, and said he was nervous but made only small mistakes, calling it a good start for the club's weekend.
