Come to run with the sports tutors on Tuesdays

Are you looking for running company? Welcome to a relaxed run with CampusSport’s sports tutors on Tuesdays at 17.00-18.00. You can participate in the runs regularly or occasionally. The plan is to hold weekly runs until the end of November 2025. 

The starting and finishing point is in front of the Tyyssija gym (Inspehtorinkatu 12, Turku). There is no participation fee and you do not need to pay the CampusSport sports fee in order to participate. You do need to be an enrolled student or a staff member in one of the universities in Turku. The sports tutors will be wearing black vests with “Sports tutor” written on them. Running technique is not taught during the runs. The target length of the run is approximately 5 kilometers. The running pace is adjusted to suit the participants’ level. Participants should have some previous experience in running. Asphalt roads will be avoided as much as possible. Weather reservation: If it rains a lot, the run will not take place.

If you want to use the toilets or dressing rooms at Tyyssija before the run, please arrive at 4.45 pm, as the run starts at 5 pm sharp. There are gendered dressing rooms with showers in the gym. There is an accessible toilet with a shower that can be used as a single occupant dressing room. There are lockers in the dressing rooms and in the lobby. You need to bring your own padlock. Lockers have enough room for a backpack. The sports tutors will let participants into the dressing rooms.

Join sports tutors’ events

Tutors organise events and try outs, such as hikes, ice water swimming and dance parties. Whenever there are upcoming events, information about them is available on the page Events.

Get to know the gyms with a sports tutor

You can get to know the gyms with a sports tutor. If you want to do a work out, you can do it once at one gym for free. If you want to see all the gyms and the equipment briefly without staying to do a work out, it is possible to get to know all the gyms with the tutor.

Send an email to tutors@campussport.fi with the subject “Getting to know the gyms”. Tell which gym you would like to get to know and which times would suit you. A sports tutor will suggest visiting times to you via email.
