    The Venla (women's relay) had 871 teams.  the Jukola (men's) had 1361 teams.  But what would've been really impressive to see would be the mass-start at 9am in the morning for all the teams who are far behind the leaders.  This year there were apparently 2400 runners to go out on legs 3-7.  Of those about 700 runners were to run the last (7th) leg.  Apparently it was the single biggest mass-start in an o'race ever.  This was mainly because the terrain was a bit hillier and tougher than usual so more teams were slower than usual.  
 
 (I missed this as I was out running in the forest at the time).
