Helsinki City Run is Finland's largest running event, held in Helsinki in May with a marathon, half marathon, marathon relay, 5K and a children's Minimarathon. The marathon starts on Mäntymäentie by the Paavo Nurmi statue, follows Mannerheimintie and the seaside, and finishes in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The Helsinki City Double combines the marathon and half marathon on the same day. Both distances are AIMS certified, and the marathon is an Abbott World Marathon Majors Age Group World Ranking event.
