About the race
Tampere Maraton is organised by Tampereen Maratonklubi and in 2027 marks the event's 30th anniversary. The race uses a clearly marked city route that runs through Tampere city centre and along the local waterways. Route markings include nearly 200 signboards, chalk lines and red-and-white tape, and traffic is managed by approved traffic controllers.
Distances offered:
- 10 km
- 21,1 km (half marathon)
- 42,2 km (marathon)
- Minimarathon for children
- Marathon relay for four-person teams
There are two aid stations on the course, spaced roughly 3–4 km apart, offering water, sports drink, juice, sea salt, raisins, banana and energy gels. About two kilometres before the finish there is an additional water point. Refill of personal drinks is possible by delivering labeled bottles to the race office by the stated deadline. Toilet facilities are available at aid stations and at the stadium.
Race numbers include a pre-attached timing chip; the chip does not need to be returned. Pacers run target times listed for marathon and half marathon. Electronic timing and live results are provided by an accredited timing service and results are published after the event. The event base with changing rooms, baggage storage and post-finish services is at Tampereen Stadion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
