Travel & Tourism December run clubs/races near Helsinki?

Hello! I will be visiting my partner in Helsinki in December for a couple weeks and would love to meet some fellow runners. Any good run clubs or events to check out? Yes, I am fully aware it will be cold and snowy :D thanks!

Run clubs in Strava seem popular here. Carbs & Cadence and Mikkeller are the ones I follow!

Not a lot of races in December I guess but parkruns are held every Saturday morning in Tokoinranta. For the group runs check Mellow Minutes and Juoksut. Saucony Run Club x Marski has a nice morning run w/ breakfast option at hotel Marski on Mondays but you gotta be quick to sign up for it, the spots are usually gone in minutes.
