  • I do not feel tired.
  • I slept well last night.
  • I have eaten appropriate food and fluids before the run.
  • I do not have any symptoms of a cold.
  • I do not have any pain or discomfort in the chest area.

For your safety

All finishers of the Rimi Riga Marathon will receive medals designed by Latvian artist Ivars Heinrihsons.

In the medal, a running horse is featured. The horse is born to run, and it exists in each of us. In the marathon, I see these parallels. The horse means more than just running to me; it represents an escape from daily life and running towards something unknown.

Ivars Heinrihsons

Rimi Riga Marathon medal design author

To celebrate the marathon’s 35th anniversary, artist Helēna Heinrihsone has created a design for official Nike running T-shirt and the jubilee shirt.

If you have already registered but would like to purchase the jubilee shirt, you can return to your registration profile and make your choice.

These shirts will also be available for purchase on May 16–17 at the Rimi Riga Marathon EXPO at Rimi Olympic Centre.
