Together with you, our runners and ambassadors, we want to use the power of running for something greater than just kilometres and finish times. When you register for HOKA Helsingborg Half Marathon you have the opportunity to donate a voluntary amount to My Special Day.

You can also make a donation directly via our website. Every contribution, big or small, helps create magical moments for children who need them the most.

Together, we give more children a day to find the strength for many. Read more about the fundraiser here!

On the map below you can see the marathon course and where to find start, finish, split times and fluid stations. You can also find cafés, toilets, attractions, parking and last but not least the City district party, where associations and individuals organises fun activities along the course.

The start of the half marathon race takes place in connection with the start of the marathon and relay outside Dunkers Culture House. The route’s unique stretch includes three kilometers through our historic and beautiful city center. You will experience historic neighborhoods and Stortorget, the medieval castle Kärnan, the Pålsjö forest nature reserve, and Laröd. The half marathon route shares the first and last 17 kilometers with the marathon, with a finish along the sea where you run under a beautiful flag display towards the finish line at beautiful Gröningen. You celebrate your effort out on the pier facing the Öresund and then move into our event area with activities for families, relatives, and supporters. The route has around 170 meters of elevation gain with an incline towards Kärnan after 2 kilometers and a long downhill stretch towards the sea after 19 kilometers. It includes everything from city, forest, and sea and has varied terrain, mostly asphalt.
