Tallinn's expo is part of the competition center on Freedom Square. The smartest visit is early, short, and complete: bib, shirt, gear-check understanding, then back off the feet.
In this guide · 3 decisions
Know the published hours
Race office hours are Thursday 10:00–19:00, Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 07:00–20:00, and Sunday 07:00–16:00. Expo hours are Thursday and Friday 10:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–20:00, and Sunday 10:00–16:00.
The organizer says information is added continuously. Recheck the participant page in race week before building travel around a specific hour.
- Thursday or Friday minimizes race-morning risk.
- Freedom Square also hosts gear check, changing, toilets, medical aid, bicycle parking, and awards.
- Do not confuse expo closing time with race-office closing time.
Bring the bib QR ready to scan
Timed-race bibs are printed on site. The QR code is sent by email shortly before the event, so screenshot it and keep the email accessible offline.
Pickup ends 30 minutes before the start, but that is an emergency boundary, not a reasonable plan. Verify the bib, name, start group, shirt, and timing chip before leaving.
- Do not fold or bend the bib.
- Pin it to the front of the race top before bed.
- Use only your own non-transferable number.
Leave with every Sunday decision closed
Before returning to the hotel, locate gear check, confirm its Sunday 07:00–16:30 window, and understand how one sealed parcel must be prepared.
The expo is not the sightseeing attraction. Set a time limit, buy only what has a clear role, and keep race shoes and nutrition familiar.
- Confirm alarm, breakfast, weather, start group, pacer, and meetup.
- Lay out the free-transit QR separately from the bib QR.
- Charge every phone and tracking device.

The organizer has confirmed the September 11–13, 2026 weekend, Sunday 09:00 marathon, Falgi Road start and finish, Freedom Square race office and expo hours, entry pricing, and participant services. The organizer calls every 2026 route single-lap and fast-profiled, but TripRace did not find a downloadable 2026 GPX or a published elevation total on August 24. The atlas therefore uses clearly labeled reference geography from the organizer's official 2025 course map and description; the final 2026 map and participant instructions always override it.
