The Helsinki Marathon features a scenic loop course that showcases the Finnish capital's beautiful Baltic coastline and urban parks. Starting and finishing at the Olympic Stadium, runners enjoy relatively flat terrain with views of the sea, islands, and Helsinki's modern architecture throughout the race.
Cool spring weather with variable conditions typical of the Baltic region. Runners should be prepared for potentially cool temperatures and occasional rain, but the season offers long daylight hours with nearly 20 hours of daylight.
The Race
Helsinki
The Helsinki Marathon was founded in 1981, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 45 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Helsinki, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
Runners come to the Helsinki Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Helsinki has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
For thousands of runners each year, the Helsinki Marathon is their first marathon. The combination of a forgiving course, generous time limits, and supportive crowds has earned this race a reputation as the place where marathon journeys begin. The first-timer energy on race morning is palpable.
