About This Event
Helsinki Trail Run brings trail running to Finland's capital city, offering runners the chance to explore the finest trail routes in and around Helsinki. Set for a Friday evening in June, this event combines the accessibility of an urban setting with the natural beauty of the region's trail networks. Organized by Helsinki Half Marathon Oy, the same team behind the established Björn Borg Helsinki Half Marathon, the event maintains high organizational standards while embracing the more adventurous spirit of trail running. The race takes place during Finland's bright summer season, when daylight extends well into the evening hours, creating ideal conditions for an after-work trail adventure. The event also includes Kids Run Helsinki Trail, featuring 500-meter and 1000-meter distances for young runners, making it a family-friendly occasion that introduces the next generation to trail running in a supportive environment.
