An annual sauna-themed event held in conjunction with the Secto Rally Finland (World Rally Championship) near Jyväskylä. Saunaralli is a parody of rally racing: instead of speed, visitors travel between sauna locations across Central Finland at their leisure, promoting relaxation and local sauna tourism 1. The event encourages both locals and rally spectators to visit unique sauna sites (such as lakeside saunas and traditional smoke saunas), thus linking a motorsport festival with Finland’s sauna culture.
Finnish Rally (Ralli SM) and sauna culture are key parts of local identity in Central Finland. Saunaralli merges them by framing sauna-hopping as a relaxed 'rally' showcasing the regional sauna tradition. It underscores sauna’s role in communal bonding and leisure, complementary to Finland’s rally heritage 1.
