Course & Elevation
The Tallinn Marathon, run as the Swedbank Tallinn Marathon, is held on a Sunday in mid-September, with the half marathon and shorter races on the Saturday. The marathon starts at 9:00 at Falgi tee, at the foot of Toompea and the Pikk Hermann tower, and finishes at the same place on a single-lap course. In 2025 it left via Paldiski Road and Kopli Street into the Kalamaja district, made a detour through the industrial quarter of Põhja-Tallinn, and continued along the beach trails of Stroomi Park. After crossing Paldiski Road the route takes the Harku-Järve viaduct to an 8 km loop through the green area around Astangu, then returns along the coast to Falgi tee. A relay marathon for teams of five runs on the same course. The marathon has been held regularly since 2010, after a first marathon in 1989 with about 100 runners, and both the marathon and the half marathon are World Athletics Elite Label road races. The men's course record is 2:09:22, set by Kiprotich Kirui in 2017.
