30 km running route recommendations for tomorrow?
Hi! I’m visiting Helsinki and it’s my 30th birthday tomorrow. Finland also happens to be my 30th country, so I’ve decided to celebrate by running 30 km 🇫🇮🏃
I’m looking for a route where I can mostly switch my brain off and just run, ideally along the water, lakes, islands, bridges or parks, with long uninterrupted stretches and as few traffic lights/road crossings as possible.
I don’t mind doing loops at all. In fact, something like 2 × 15 km or 3 × 10 km would be perfect if the route is easy to follow without constantly checking Google Maps.
I’ve been looking at routes around Töölönlahti, Seurasaari and Lauttasaari, but I’d love recommendations from people who actually run here. Mostly paved would be preferable.
And as a side note: I’m travelling solo, so if anyone happens to be around tomorrow and fancies a celebratory coffee/beer/food after I survive the 30K, I’d be happy for some company 😄
