We invite everyone to end the year 2024 actively by participating in the traditional New Year’s Eve Run on December 31 at 11:00 AM. The starting point is at the Olympic Center “Ventspils.”
The tradition of the New Year’s Eve Run was established over 50 years ago by coach Andrejs Dogadovs. Participants will have the option to choose a suitable distance ranging from 1 to 5 kilometers without timekeeping, as well as timed distances: 3 km for women and 5 km for men. Runners completing the timed distances will be awarded, with the six fastest women in the 3 km and the six fastest men in the 5 km distances receiving recognition.
After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy hot tea and treats provided by the event organizers. Participant numbers can be collected on December 31 from 10:00 AM, and participants are kindly asked to collect them on time.
Participation in the run is free of charge. The event organizers express their gratitude to athletes and families for engaging in sports activities and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and an active New Year 2025!
