Paavo Nurmi Marathon 2026 takes place on 14–15 August 2026 in Turku, Finland, the hometown of Finnish running legend Paavo Nurmi. The event is organised as a two-day running weekend with 5K and 10K races on Friday evening, followed by the half marathon and marathon on Saturday.

The event area is centred around Turku Market Square, with routes using the city centre, the Aurajoki riverside and the Ruissalo area. The marathon and half marathon routes are officially measured, and the marathon is listed by the event as an AIMS-approved marathon event. A children’s MiniMarathon by OmaSp opens the weekend on Friday, with short age-group distances for young participants.

This event suits runners who want a well-established Finnish road race with several distance choices rather than only a marathon. The Friday evening 5K and 10K are suitable for shorter-distance runners, while the Saturday half marathon and marathon give experienced runners a longer race option in a historic Turku setting.
