Tampere Maraton 2026

Tampere Maraton takes runners through central Tampere and along the city’s waterside routes at the turn from August to September. The event includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10.5 km quarter marathon, and a four-person marathon relay, plus a Minimarathon for children aged 4 to 12 at Tampere Stadium. The main route uses both downtown streets and the shores around Tampere’s lakes, distinguishing it from laps in a stadium or a closed park course. Open and masters age groups are offered for the marathon and half marathon, the 10 km has open categories, and relay teams can mix women and men. Runners receive chip timing, an officially measured course, aid on the route and at the finish, and a medal. All Minimarathon entry fees go to charity.
