Experience the unique atmosphere of Kopli Liinid at our annual running event. The track takes you through the historic industrial area and along the beautiful Baltic Sea coastline.
With three distances - 250m kids run, 12km main run and 7km walking tour - this event is perfect for the whole family.
Join our community event celebrating the revitalization of the historic Kopli district.
Main Run (12km): regular until 31.05 (22€), last chance 01.06–10.06 (30€).
Kids Run (250m): 5€ until 10.06.
Walking Tour (7km): 10€ until 10.06.
The track starts and finishes at the Kopli Liinid promenade. The first section heads toward the Maritime Academy and Süsta park, then winds through Professorite küla (Professors’ Village) and Kase park. A great way to warm up while soaking in the local atmosphere.
After the urban loop, the route returns to the promenade and follows the coastline east. A bagpipe band will be waiting at the water station to cheer you on!
From there the track heads north into the Paljassaare Nature Reserve, a protected coastal wetland renowned for birdwatching. The route loops around the Paljassaare peninsula before returning south along the western shoreline back to the finish.
The walking track is slightly shorter than the running track, but the start and finish are the same. The route begins at the Kopli Liinid promenade.
The walking track leads directly toward Paljassaare, maintaining beautiful views of the coastline. The track offers excellent opportunities for bird watching and enjoying nature.
The tour is guided by Hannele — founder and guide of Koplikandi Matkad. Over five years she has led tours for more than 4,000 people, and is also the curator of the exhibition “Kopli Magical Realism”. As a local resident, she knows the entire peninsula intimately — its history as well as its present-day life.

Kopli Liinid Running Challenge was founded in 2025 as a local community initiative. Our goal is to bring people together through sports while showcasing the unique history and beautiful coastal area of Kopli.
Our team consists of local sports enthusiasts and community activists who want to see the Kopli area flourish. We believe that sports unite people and create a stronger community.
The event is organized in cooperation with Põhja-Tallinn District Government and local businesses who share our vision of an active and vibrant community.
