Pay for running events with your Virike benefit

Categories: Tips for using benefits
Running is a great hobby: you can do it at your own pace, enjoy the combination of exercise and fresh air, and choose whether to run alone or with others. You can often see and feel your progress quickly, making every kilometre rewarding. Whether you’re an experienced runner or just getting started, one thing is clear: running is for everyone – regardless of age, distance, pace or starting level.
Use your Virike benefit for running events
Once you’ve found your rhythm, you might be ready to challenge yourself in a new way. Or, if you’re an experienced runner, perhaps it’s time to beat a previous personal best. A running event can give you an exciting goal to work towards and an experience to remember.
Edenred Virike is accepted as a payment method at some of Finland’s biggest running events. Whether you’re aiming for a 10K, half marathon or full marathon, we’re with you every step of the way. There’s nothing quite like crossing the finish line to the sound of a cheering crowd – except perhaps knowing you can use your sports benefit to pay for your participation!
Running events in 2027
Registration for many 2027 running events is already open, with Early Bird prices available. Use your Edenred Virike benefit to sign up and secure your place before the event sells out. Check the accepted payment methods and terms directly with the event organiser.
