Climate change is one of the most wicked problems of our time, but it can be solved and at the same time Finnish racing cycling can be raised to the top of the world. And it’s not really at all surprising that these things are reconcilable. Cycling is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel.
We are in a hurry to solve this big challenge that affects the lives of all of us. We want to take an active part in one of the largest movements in the history of the world, a global force against climate change that includes almost all nations and their governments.
The Akilles Green Team is determined to raise big questions and run in both domestic and international competitions under the theme “Racing For The Future”. With an activating and positive attitude, we want to be a message exporter. Anything is possible and even this race is possible to win.

FINLAND'S LEADING
CYCLING CLUB
THE SUCCESS STORY BEGAN ALREADY IN 1911
PORVOON AJO AND CYCLING SUPER WEEKEND
Porvoon Akilles has produced dozens of top Finnish drivers. Akilles is working long-term to raise the club
to the top of the leaderboards in 2022, when the club turns 120 years old.
Our goal is to combine Finnish racing cycling with the fight against climate change. We want to activate
Finnish companies and private people
do climate work by walking, running and pedaling.
At the same time, we want to create a development platform for Finnish top cycling to be able to develop young cyclists to professionals.
Akilles invites companies and their personnel to do concrete climate actions and develop top Finnish cycling.
Porvoo Akilles is one of the oldest and most traditional cycling clubs in the country.
The Akilles of Porvoo was founded in 1902 and its bicycle section in 1911. You can get acquainted with the fascinating story of Akilles, which contains numerous anecdotes, in our history section.

TULEVAISUUDEN AKILLES
Cycling gives you plenty of time to be with yourself, focus on thinking and watching the changing landscapes, and at the same time feel the big muscles do the intense work that takes you to the trance at its best. The lengthening loops take you farther and farther from your home district to the surrounding countryside and provinces.
Regular competitions create a torturous excitement that tingles even days before. The races teach you to struggle in a large group of space and shelter, as well as to read the course of the race and the racing partners driving next to it. The more alert and experienced drivers lurk in places of impact and are able to make lightning-fast decisions with intuition and cyclist instinct. Successes, failures, every experience teaches and increases a competitor’s instinct.
The first training camps at home and abroad quickly come into the picture for the young rider, expanding the circle of life and teaching that cycling is a team sport when approaching the top, where big wins are generated through the almost inhumane effort of individuals with the support of teammates.
At some point in this process, perhaps the dream and dream of a young cyclist arises. A dream of one of the toughest professions in the world, a career as a cyclist. The Akilles Green Team has created a ready-made path for good practice and tough international competitions. The resources of experienced cycling coaches and a support team will help you achieve your big dream. The Akilles Green Team is strengthened and renewed with young cyclists.
We invite you who want to put yourself in the league and compete for your dreams and our common future. We also get to work on something bigger than one person’s dream, for a sustainable climate. It is you who can be the future of Akilles. Please, contact us and we'll talk more.
