About the event
The 47th Helsinki City Marathon is run on Saturday 8 May 2027 and finishes inside the Olympic Stadium, which is the reason many enter it. The marathon sits inside the wider Helsinki City Run weekend on 7 and 8 May, with a children's event on the Friday and a 5K alongside. Pacing and the rest of the race details are updated by the organiser closer to the day.
The finish is the draw: the 47th Helsinki City Marathon ends inside the Olympic Stadium on 8 May 2027, after a route along the sea. It is run on the Saturday of the Helsinki City Run weekend, so the half marathon, a relay in legs of 14, 7, 13 and 8 kilometres, a 5K and a Minimarathon all share the same two days.
The entry fee is 75 EUR until 31 October 2026 and 82 EUR after that. What the fee covers is not itemised on the race pages as of 20 October 2026 - the organiser's terms set the six-hour limit but not the contents of the entry.
