IOF TV brings together all 10Mila viewers
When the prestigious 10Mila club relays are run on the weekend of May 3-4, everyone can follow the intense competitions on IOF TV.

This year, all three commentary languages: English, Swedish and Finnish are gathered in one place – IOF TV, where you can freely choose between the languages once you have bought your ticket.

You can look forward to a high-quality TV production that runs for around 24 hours and takes you out into the terrain at the controls and makes use of running cameras, so that you are completely in the footsteps of the athletes when the relays are decided.

10Mila 2025 will be run in the eastern Swedish terrain of Finspång, which also hosted 10Mila 15 years ago.

You’ll be in great company on IOF TV, where Per Forsberg and experts will be providing Swedish commentary, Katherine Bett and Jonas Merz handles the English commentary, while Timo Saarinen and Petteri Huikko guide the Finnish-speaking viewers throughout the relays.
