Start and finish line at a medieval Masterpiece
The Tallinn Marathon takes runners on a scenic journey through the city’s many faces — from the UNESCO-listed Old Town and breezy seaside promenades to modern business areas and peaceful residential neighborhoods. With a flat, smooth course and no cobblestones, it’s perfect for setting a personal best or enjoying your very first race.
“It’s like running through a fairy tale — I’ve never experienced anything like it.” – Previous participant from the UK
A seamless and welcoming international experience
From easy registration in English to excellent event logistics and airport accessibility, Tallinn is designed for a smooth experience. The city is compact, safe, and filled with English-speaking locals. Hotels, restaurants, and transport are all within reach of the starting line.
Tallinn Airport — just a 10-minute ride from the city center — was named ‘Europe’s Best Airport Serving 2–5 Million Passengers’ and ‘Most Enjoyable Airport in Europe’ in the 2024 Airport Service Quality Awards.
Discover Estonia – Europe’s hidden gem
Marathon weekend is a perfect excuse to explore more. Hike in national parks, visit historical manors, enjoy Nordic cuisine, or unwind in a lakeside sauna. Estonia combines northern wilderness with cultural depth in one of Europe’s most underrated destinations.
Many runners extend their trip to explore Tallinn, Tartu, or even Helsinki (just a ferry ride away).
