Saturday’s marathon finishes inside Helsinki Olympic Stadium
The current page lists marathon starts at 09:30 and 09:40, divided by target finish time, with runners asked to assemble by 09:20. Recheck the final 2027 allocation before using those times for travel. The exact wave information may change even though the Saturday race date is confirmed.
Bib collection is at the Olympic Stadium race office using a QR code, with the current marathon deadline shown as 08:40 on Saturday. The page also describes a Friday hour reserved for 5 km runners. Use the final opening schedule for your own distance and avoid leaving collection until the last available minutes.
The marathon combines seaside, park and central-city sections, with the finish inside the stadium. However, the route heading still says 2025 and the aid-location link says 2026. Treat these as preparation context until the 2027 map is published, especially for personal-refreshment placement and any repeated course sections.
The page gives a six-hour maximum and lists aid products, but its aid and pacer sections explicitly await 2027 updates. Practise with familiar fueling and verify the final station menu before depending on a particular product. This May event is separate from the August Helsinki Marathon, which has different entry, route and collection arrangements. Save the stadium race-office location separately from the Mäntymäentie start entrance, and leave enough time to move between them after collection.
