Rimi Riga Marathon

See you on October 10th!

For the sixth year in a row, thousands of little bundles of energy will gather for the Rimi Riga Marathon Kids’ Day to get active with various running tracks and the 4.2 km Family Run! This year, brand Happy has taken special care of the youngest participants. It will provide baby changing room and offer to try exciting course "Happy Babies". 

The Kids’ Day will kick off with the short courses follwed by the 4.2 km Family Run.

• How to register?

  The separate registrations must be made for the shorter distances or the Family Run.

  Event	Age limit	Registration	Where to register?
  Happy Babies, 200 m and 400 m races	Up to 12 years	Free	Registration
  Family Run	Without limit	5.00 EUR/ 1 participant	Registration

   

  The adult, or applicant, can be a parent, teacher or guardian taking part on October 10th who will supervise and take full responsibility for the child during the event.

  Please bear in mind that, during the Family Run, only participants with race numbers are allowed on the course, so adults running with the child must also register. The contact person does NOT automatically become a participant, therefore, if you want to run with your children, you must add yourself to the list of participants!

The course

The new course for 2020 will start in the heart of Riga by the Freedom Monument. After making a loop around the monument the course will take all runners across the river Daugava by crossing Vanšu bridge and providing a panoramic view of Old Riga's buildings and church towers. All runners complete the course and finish next to the river and Old Riga.

The course elevation is minimal as Riga is mostly flat. For the Family Run the only section with some slight elevation is on the Vanšu bridge.

"Happy Babies", 200 m and 400 m races

As each year, also this May kids will be able to run around and play on three tracks: Happy Babbies, 200 m and 400 m.

When registering for kids’ races, the track choice will be available after indicating the child’s age. On the day of the event, the choice of track can be freely changed with no prior notification. Just keep in mind – only one medal per participant with the bib number to make sure all kids get their very special medal of the day.

Children up to the age of 12 are invited to take part, so only children born after 11.10.2008 can register. Don’t worry if your child is over 12 - there is no age limit for enjoying running with Mums, Dads and the rest of the family in our Family Run!
