The marathon route in Helsinki is one of the most beautiful worldwide. Almost half of the route runs along the Baltic Sea coastline. The magnificent parks in Helsinki make the running experience unforgettable. Runners will have an overlook of the architecture and culture of Finland's capital, also known as the white city of the Baltic Sea.
The Olympic Stadium, Finlandia Hall, Parliament, Nokia House, Kaivopuisto Park,and part of the architecturally interesting city centre are all located along the marathon route. Furthermore, the Helsinki City Marathon runners will have a great opportunity to explore Helsinki and its leisure activities during the entire summer weekend.
The finish of the Helsinki City Marathon 2010 is located outside the Olympic Stadium due to non-organizational reasons.
The route of the year 2009 event can be found here. The route will most likely be the same this year as well (except for possible changes due to road constructions)
