Vermo's Wednesday Races is a harness racing concept. Admission to Wednesday races is free.
In addition to Finland's main racetrack, Vermo is also a venue for various events – both smaller meetings and larger events. The central location in Leppävaara, Espoo and great public transport connections enable Vermo's good accessibility. The infrastructure of the racetrack area, spacious parking facilities, restaurant services in the grandstand and various conference facilities are suitable for many kinds of events. Vermo has hosted concerts, container markets, exhibitions and military oath ceremonies. The possibilities are almost endless.
