- Live results
- There is GPS Tracking (for around 20 teams) on all legs. However, live GPS Tracking will only be shown on the TV feed – there is no separate tracking offered. On some legs there will be little tracking shown so that later runners will not see the forking etc.

- Jukola webpage and competition information
Map and terrain
There are quite large height differences in the terrain, the highest hills offer climbing about 50 meters. The runnability is basically good, with only a few rocky places. The open rock areas are not very large. There are some signs of forestry work typical to commercial forests. Also, signs of gravel taking are visible in terrain and on the map, even though most of the gravel pits are already overgrown.
