The original Sun Run race was held from 1981 until 1987. Karhu sponsored the 1983 race from Sweden to Finland over the Torino River. During research, the '83 poster was uncovered and was used to inspire the concept for of the Sun Run collection and the rebirth of this historic race. The colors of the collection pay homage to the national flags from Sweden and Finland and honor the camaraderie found among runners regardless of personal goals in the sport, nationality, race, or background.
The running camp held in Lapland allowed these two groups of runners to come together and experience the unique summer environment of Finland. With the event culminating in the participants running from Finland over to Sweden.
