Helsinki City Marathon (16 Aug 2008)
The Helsinki course goes round the main city centre as well as out-and-back along several of the islands in the bay. It's a scenic course although the constant drizzle reduced visibility on the bay to some degree. It also undulates slightly more than your average road marathon but no hills are longer than about 200m.
Overall a well organised and fun race which is well worth a go and has PB potential.
