Structured training. Shared ambition.
Building the base @kauppicenter laying foundations long before race day.
Committed work. Consistent effort.
This work is rarely shown. But the process comes first. Results come later.
One group. HapoRunners.
It’s more than running.
HAPORUNNERS SEASON 2025 - 2026
HEAD COACH FOR HAPORUNNERS / JEMINA "JEMPPU"
"As a coach, I live and breathe your journey with you. I’m gentle but demanding. When needed, I’m flexible and understanding, but always honest and direct.
The greatest bravery lies in changing the plan, running fewer kilometers than originally written, or stopping a session when needed. We are a whole system, everything is connected.
During key workouts and races, I’ll be the loudest one cheering at the track."

AKI-JUSSI "AJ"
Marathon / Ironman
I’m not the fastest HapoRunner but my IM background lets me suffer longer than the average person! Also I’ve been given a yapping ban during tempo/threshold sessions.
ALEKSI "LEKSA"
Half marathon
Usually seen as a GPS during runs.
DIANA
Half marathon
Curious, driven, and always up for something new. For races, I write target splits and motivational messages on my arms. Most important one: just keep going.
INKA
Half marathon / Marathon
Mix of determination and energy. Best at showing up with a smile, trusting the process and always ready to give a little extraness.
JOSEFINA
Half marathon
I might not be the fastest or the loudest in the group, but I love making sure (like a sheepdog) that the pack stays together. I'm SISUKAS, and you usually couldn't tell if I'm doing daily base training or chasing a PB.
JUHO
Half marathon / Marathon
I'll try to stay healthy and gather a lot of running kilometers with HapoRunners. If you don't see me at Tuesday Haporun, I don't have a permission to run from Jemppu.
JULIE
Half marathon / Marathon
A love-hate relationship with running. I am the sister of the head coach...
Luukas
Marathon
Serious about running, not serious in practice.
SANTTU
Marathon
Trying to attend everything. Hapo is love, Hapo is life.
TAAVI
Half marathon / Marathon
Learning a lot every day. Every workout is a belter and I just love my fellow horses (HapoRunners).
YOUSSEF "YUSSU"
10km
I love running on the treadmill over any other form of running. On race day, I wear a headband as my superpower.
