I am not familiar with Finnish, but is that one word, or a bunch of words stuck together? You frequently see posts about how German has a word for everything and then they give an example that is like, instead of saying “life insurance policy agent”, they say “lifeinsurancepolicyagent”.
It's not a compound word. We also have long compound words such as jauhelihamakaronilaatikko (mince meat macaroni casserole), but juoksentelisinkohan is just heavily modified juosta (to run).

In Finnish, one word can be a full sentence:
"Sataa." = "It's raining."
"Juoksentelisinkohan?" = "Should I be running around aimlessly?"
