When registering for the marathon, you can choose additional options:

• Bag check free of charge

Please add this option if you want to use the official marathon bag check. If you opt in, you will receive the official marathon bag for storing your personal belongings at the start and finish area.

• Official T-shirt

In your registration profile, you can also indicate that you would like to purchase the official marathon Nike running shirt shirt (Nike Dri-FIT Miler) for €43.99. There will be white and black shirts for 2025 available.

• Compensate your carbon footprint

Each one of us leaves a CO2e footprint during a marathon, so we invite you to compensate for your own by contributing to an environmental project in Riga that we will support through the “Run for Future by Neste” sustainability program. By doing so, we will offset the total CO2 footprint created by the marathon.

• Donate for charity initiative “Movement for movement”

Donate for charity initiative “Movement for movement” to help children with mobility impairments. All donated funds will be directed to the co-financing of orthoses and orthopaedic shoes, as well as to the provision of other needs of children with mobility impairments.

Runners of the Rimi Riga Marathon will have access to a baggage storage at the Doma Square.

Please note that the baggage storage service is available only with official bags and upon prior selection. If you decide to use the baggage storage, please indicate it during the registration process or in your user profile after registration. The selection period ends on April 16th.

The storage service for bags is free of charge; however, we encourage you to evaluate its necessity, as the production of each bag, even from recycled materials, has a negative impact on the environment.
