Sports and Physical Activity

Sports Services

Sports Services provide a wide range of guided physical activities for people of all ages and organise sports and exercise events throughout Kuhmo.

One of the municipality’s key responsibilities is to promote the well-being of its residents. Physical activity plays an important role in maintaining health and well-being. It also provides enjoyment, positive experiences and opportunities to strengthen a sense of community. Our aim is to promote residents’ well-being by providing high-quality sports facilities for recreational activities and supporting the active work of local sports clubs.

Sports Services are responsible for maintaining high-quality and diverse sports facilities. Together with local sports organisations and Sotkamo Adult Education Centre, we offer residents a variety of opportunities to maintain and improve their health and well-being.

We also organise a wide range of guided activities and sports events throughout Kuhmo. Local sports clubs play an important role in providing sports and exercise opportunities.
