About the Event

Located in Jyväskylä, Finlandia Marathon welcomes runners from all backgrounds to experience its scenic and fast course. The centerpiece is the picturesque 'Rantaraitti' lakeside path, recognized as one of Finland's most stunning routes. This flat terrain not only provides a conducive environment for first-time marathoners but also offers seasoned athletes an opportunity to break personal records.
The event features several races including the Marathon Relay (4 x 3.5 km), Finlandia Vitonen (5 km), and the Evening Run (10K). The Full Marathon, covering 42.2 kilometers, shares its start time with the Half Marathon (21.1 km) to ensure a lively atmosphere throughout the race day.
Participants can enjoy the beautiful scenery along Rantaraitti's lakeshore while benefiting from the smooth and fast course layout that minimizes sharp turns. The shared starting line between full and half marathon runners encourages camaraderie, as pacers are readily available to help athletes maintain their desired pace. Lutakonaukio and Jyväskylä Pavilion act as central hubs for race activities, providing a welcoming space before the event begins.
Whether you're aiming for your first finish line or looking to improve on previous performances, Finlandia Marathon offers an unforgettable experience in one of Europe's most scenic settings.
