Björn Borg Helsinki Marathon, live.

One lap of Helsinki from Meripuisto

The Björn Borg Helsinki Marathon is a late summer road race on Saturday 28 August 2027, run on a single lap through central Helsinki.

Every distance at the Björn Borg Helsinki Marathon uses a single lap course through the streets of central Helsinki, so no one runs the same stretch twice. The 2027 race is on Saturday 28 August, with four options: the marathon, the half marathon, a 10 km and a marathon relay of four legs of 10.55 km each.

The half marathon is the first away, at 08:10 from Meripuisto, with its start and finish on Ehrenströmintie. The marathon and the marathon relay start at 08:45, also from Meripuisto, and finish there as well. The 10 km is run in the afternoon. It starts at 13:45 from Kaisaniemenranta and finishes in Meripuisto, where all four races come together.

In the relay a team of four shares the marathon, with each person covering 10.55 km. The organiser says anyone can take part, from beginners to more experienced runners, and describes the event as open to all.

The routes circle the streets and seafront of central Helsinki, and the organiser describes the half marathon as running along the most beautiful shores and running paths of the city centre. The 2027 route maps are still to be published, and the organiser shows the 2026 routes in the meantime.

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 Marathon.
