Finlandia Marathon is a fast and beautiful event. It's perfect for those who try to make a PB and also for those who enjoy the sights and feelings.
The way the event has been organized has always fulfilled my expectations, and I have never felt uncertainty on race day. The only negative feeling has been lack of atmosphere - I would like to see and hear more spectators at the course. On the other hand, that gives the possibility to really enjoy the sight.
