Like all urbirun routes, you can start wherever you like. Pay attention to the direction of the tour.

Explore the world's northernmost capital, surrounded by the Baltic Sea, with a jagged coastline, and discover small coves and beaches. But you will also run through a modern city, whose architecture mixes neo-classical, art-nouveau and modernity, as well as a marked Russian influence. Elected Capital of Design in 2012, Helsinki has many secrets to unveil.

*Alternative route : you can shorten your tour, by leaving the lake in the center and running west towards the seashore. You'll miss Olympic Stadium and Sibelius Park

You'll be given the choice between different distances during your run.

NB : if you are unsure, check your position on the map and the track.
