Next weekend, the forests near Nynäshamn in Sweden host this year's 10Mila relays with close to 900 teams in total and more than 6000 athletes, and you will be able to follow all three relays on IOF TV in both English and Finnish commentary.

The 2024 edition feature an innovation as the 10Mila and Women's relay contain a break after three and two legs respectively, allowing both relays to have night legs.

As always, the four-leg Youth Relay kicks off the 10Mila fun on Saturday afternoon.

Last year IFK Göteborg (SWE) won both Women's and Youth Relay before NTNUI (NOR) took it's first win in the 10Mila race.

IOF TV's experienced commentators Katherine Bett and Jonas Merz handle the English commentary while Timo Saarinen and Riina Kuuselo are behind the microphones on the Finnish stream.

There will be interviews with athletes in both English and Finnish as well.

The 10Mila tickets for IOF TV are 25 EUR for all three relays and give access to both English and Finnish commentary.

Please note that the 10Mila broadcast in Swedish is only available here
