Route description 

Tampere Marathon 2026 will be run in the center of Tampere. The route will be mostly on asphalt and partly on dirt roads. The route will be officially measured before the event.

The route has been modified due to runner feedback (now the desired 10 km distance is possible), the city's construction site situation and the safety of runners (no opposing runner traffic). The route 2026 consists of a basic lap (approx. 7 km) and a transition (2 x approx. 3.5 km) from the stadium to the basic lap and back to the stadium. The marathon will include transitions and 5 basic laps, the half marathon will include transitions and two basic laps.

Please note that the start of the 10 km distance is in Aleksandra Siltanen Park (near Vapriikki and Palatsinsilta). The 10 km distance will include a short basic lap and a transition to the stadium.

For your safety, please follow the traffic rules and the organizers' instructions. In some places, vehicles may have to be allowed to pass between the runners to allow other traffic to flow. In this case, runners must slow down for a moment. There are two (2) refreshment stations along the route, approximately every 3-4 km. There are also toilet facilities along the route in connection with the refreshment stations.

We reserve the right to make changes to the details shown on the map until the route inspection measurement.

If you wish to get to know Tampere Marathon's route (~10K), please join us running it on Wednesdays. The speed is up to the participants - if needed, we will form speed groups. The meeting point is by Tampere Stadium at address: Ratinan rantatie 1, at 5:30 pm. Welcome!

The route can be found from plotearoute when the final review has been done.
