An access code to the electronic enrolment system is sent via e-mail in November 2017 to the clubs and associations that participated in Joensuu-Jukola in 2017. All new clubs, associations and\/or private persons will receive their code after registering in the electronic enrolment system.<\/p>\n

However, the same Emit card can be used in both the Jukola and Venla Relays. Emit cards can be rented from the organizers.
