Thousands of runners will take to the streets of Helsinki on Saturday 4 September for the 2010 annual Midnight run. With a huge turnout from the people of Helsinki, lining the streets to support those taking part in the race.

History:
With the first race taking place in 1982, not many thought that twenty-eight years later it would be loved far outside Stockholm and Södermalms borders. The idea for the Midnight run was created by a group of people from Hammarby, Stockholm who had the idea based on combining sport and culture and to allow different generations to meet.
Twenty-eight years later, Midnight Run is now also in Gothenburg and Copenhagen.
What makes Midnight races exciting and unique is the late start time, the arrangements for the participants and the audience around the course and especially the mood and atmosphere that raises at a Midnight Race Evening.
