The Swedbank Tallinn Marathon and Tallinna Sügisjooks (Autumn Run) will take place on the weekend of 13–14 September, bringing tens of thousands of running enthusiasts to the districts of Põhja-Tallinn, Kesklinn, and Haabersti. As a result, there will be temporary changes to traffic and public transport.

On the competition route and its surroundings — including Kopli, Tööstuse, Kalaranna, Ristiku, and Erika streets, Toompuiestee, Paldiski maantee, Kolde puiestee, Vabaõhumuuseumi tee, and the Stroomi area — traffic will be temporarily closed or restricted. Therefore, people passing through the race area are advised to allow extra time, follow traffic arrangements carefully, and consider alternative routes. Organizers ask residents and all road users to review the official traffic information and maps on www.jooks.ee/liiklusinfo, plan activities outside of the race times if possible, and remain attentive during the event days.
