Race morning 2027 details

The marathon starts at 9:00. The start corridor opens 30 minutes before. If you registered before 31 July 2027, your start group follows the finish time you gave. Elite runners and Estonian championship runners start in group A. Start in your own group, because starting in the wrong one gets you disqualified. Only runners with 2027 numbers may enter the corridor.
