Piirin myöntämä kilpailu 2026

Itämeri Maraton is a Saturday running and walking event in Hanko, with the start and finish at Keskuskoulu on Halmstadinkatu. Runners can choose the marathon, half marathon, or quarter marathon, which is listed as 10.5 km in the event information. The route is officially measured, and the marathon has a six-hour cutoff, while the half marathon and quarter marathon have a 5.5-hour cutoff. The event is organized by HIK Friidrott and Hangon Palomiesyhdistys, so it has the feel of a local club race rather than a big commercial production. The age groups cover men and women from open categories through older masters classes, and younger runners have their own short-distance category. Race numbers are picked up at the race office at the finish area, and the event lists support from the City of Hanko and several local businesses.
