Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon

About this event

The Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon brings runners to Finland's vibrant capital for a classic road race through the city's distinctive blend of Nordic architecture and Baltic coastline. Set for early June, the event captures Helsinki at its best, with long daylight hours and the city coming alive for summer. The course winds through the Finnish capital's wide boulevards and waterfront areas, offering glimpses of neoclassical landmarks and harbour views. As a proper half marathon, it suits runners ready to test themselves over the full 21-kilometre distance. The event carries the heritage of Swedish tennis legend Björn Borg's sporting brand, bringing an international flavour to one of Scandinavia's most liveable cities.
