Maantiekisat 2026

Maantiekisat includes the Espoo Rantamaraton, an autumn road-running event in Espoo with races from 5 km to the full marathon. The race starts at Otaniemi Sports Field, and runners can choose 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, or marathon distances, with separate categories for men and women. The Espoo course follows the Rantaraitti, the coastal route that gives the event its name. Espoon Tapiot, Esbo IF, and Leppavaaran Sisu organize it, and a recent autumn edition drew nearly 8,000 runners. Families are part of the day too, with the Espoo Children's Mini Marathon giving younger runners their own race.
