The largest running event in Finland, taking place on Friday–Saturday the 7th–8th of May 2027, filling the streets of Helsinki and the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, with over 22,000 runners from 110 nations. It offers Finland's largest half marathon, the legendary 47th Helsinki City Marathon, a marathon relay, a 5 km race and walk, and the Helsinki City Double combining marathon and half marathon.

Why attend here

In early May, Helsinki's parks and waterfront paths are waking up, making the run through the city a fresh, green experience. After crossing the finish at the Olympic Stadium, wander the nearby Töölö bay or grab a cinnamon bun and coffee at a classic café like Café Esplanad, soaking in the Nordic design aesthetic that defines the city.
