Short History
Mårten started his sports career as a orienteerer at the age of 4.
Since he discovered that he was too fast for this sport (and couldn´t find
the controls) he started to do long-distance running at the age 17. These days he does
both orienteering and long-distance running and is amoung the very top of Finland in both
sports!
