Tampere Juoksee 5 km

Tampere Juoksee 5 km

The 5 km is the first adult start of the day, sent off from Keskustori at 12:35, under the name 5 km by Clinic Helena; together with Clinic Helena, the event supports the Cancer Foundation’s Pink Ribbon campaign. Start is in the city centre and the event area, with bag storage and dressing rooms, is at Ratina stadium. The organiser’s participant guide sets a three-hour maximum for every distance and closes the finish at 16:00.

The 2026 edition grew to the point where the start was split into three groups, and the 5 km route crosses the routes of the longer distances in the city centre. The next edition is announced for 9 October 2027. Its routes are labelled preliminary, since road works in Tampere can affect them.

A 5 km is over quickly, which makes the finish estimate the number that matters to anyone waiting at Ratina. The runner shares their own Livebib link, which opens in a browser with no account and no app, showing the position on the course line, the distance covered and an estimate that updates as the race goes, marked as an estimate. Following by car or bike is not allowed on this course; following on a phone is.
