White Nights starts at the stadium and finishes in Palace Square
The late start changes both arrival and finish planning. In the displayed edition, runners needed to collect their bib earlier in the day and return for the evening assembly. Do not assume an open evening start area also provides late packet collection.
The stadium start and Palace Square finish are in different parts of the city. Save both locations and the current baggage-transfer instructions. Arrange a finish meeting point and transport appropriate to the time you expect to arrive, which may be after midnight.
The revised 2026 route should replace older loop maps when reviewing that edition. For a future race, obtain the new full-distance map and any road-closure information before choosing spectator stops. The 10 km shares the broad venue arrangement but has a different timetable and distance-specific instructions.
The white-night setting does not mean conditions remain constant throughout the race. Use the actual forecast for clothing and familiar supplies, and check the final aid chart and cutoff schedule. Plan rest and meals around the late start without experimenting with unfamiliar race-day routines. The organizer’s June and July news, results and archived participant guide describe the completed 2026 event; they should not be interpreted as a new registration offer. Check the year of any certificate, transport notice or entry document before relying on it. If you need a fixed 2027 race date, wait for an explicit announcement rather than assuming the first Saturday in July will repeat. Keep this guide as context for the overnight, point-to-point format until that new programme is published.
