Finland’s largest half marathon, Helsinki City Run, is making many changes that take place in next year’s event. The most relevant change concerning runners is related to the route. Also the start of the race has a new location. Helsinki City Run takes place May 13th 2017.
 
In 2016 over 12 000 runners ran a renewed and more urban route than before. About 2/3 of the route was ran on the city streets and 1/3 in the Helsinki’s Central park. This change was widely praised by the runners.
 

The Helsinki City Runners walk through a tunnel from Sonera Stadium to the start area of the Helsinki City Run halfmarathon. Runners are encouraged to walk briskly through the tunnel. You may not stop in the tunnel and it is not to be used as a rain cover or bag drop place.

Please walk along in the tunnel and do not cause any delays. In case the tunnel gets crowded it may be closed due to safety reasons. We ask for your understanding – this way all runners are going to make it to the starting area on time.

Have a great race!
 

The meeting point is located outside the Sonera Stadium, in the corner nearest to the Urheilukatu (the road passing the Stadium), at the Olympic Stadium’s end. Meeting point area is called Power Zone and offers also services from the partners.
