Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon, live.

A June half marathon through central Helsinki

The Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon is run on 12 June 2027 through the streets of central Helsinki, with a 5 km on the same day.

The Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon is an early summer road race in the Finnish capital. The 2027 edition is on 12 June and offers two distances, the half marathon of 21.1 km and a 5 km. Both routes run through the streets of central Helsinki, and the event is open to everyone.

The 2027 start times and route have not been published yet, and the organiser will announce the schedule closer to the event. In 2026 the start and finish were in Meripuisto, and the half marathon route passed Katajanokka, Suvilahti, the north end of Töölönlahti and the Baana path, with drink stops along the way. The start closes five minutes after the gun on both distances.

For 2027 the organiser lists cut-off points at 4.5 km, 11.7 km and 17.5 km, with the exact times still to be confirmed. The organiser's coaching partner Runner's High offers running courses, training groups and personal coaching for the race, with plans both for reaching the finish and for target times.

The race office and free bag storage are in the event area in Meripuisto, where participants collect their numbers and can also register late. The organiser will share more details on number pick-up closer to the event.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from the Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon.
