THE COURSE

Our courses are designed to showcase the very best of Helsingborg — from the pulse of the city to the calm of nature. The start at Sundstorget takes you toward Råå Marina and further on to Ättekulla Nature Reserve. Soon you’ll reach Ramlösa Brunnspark, the lush Jordbodalen valley, and the unique experience of running through Fredriksdal Museums and Gardens.

The contrasts continue as you pass Helsingborg Arena and Olympia before reaching the iconic Kärnan, Pålsjö Forest, and Maria Park. Down Tinkarpsbacken, a stunning view of the sea opens up as you set your sights on Gröningen.

The final 3,300 meters, with markers every 100 meters, create a magical countdown to the finish line. The finishing stretch along the sea, with the flags waving above you, makes the ending unforgettable – whether you are running Helsingborg Marathon, HOKA Helsingborg Half Marathon, Lydinge Resort Stafett, or Cheap Energy Kids Run.

A course to love. An experience to return to. Welcome to HBGM!
