The Rimi Riga Marathon is the biggest mass sports event in the Baltic States, gathering tens of thousands of runners from all over the world in Latvia’s capital city Riga every May. It also stands as the only marathon in the world that unites multiple World Athletics Road Race Label races – the mile, 6km, 10km, half marathon, and marathon – into a single weekend celebration of running, alongside Kids’ Day events.
The organizing team of the Rimi Riga Marathon is also proud to have hosted the inaugural World Athletics Road Running Championships Riga 2023 in the half marathon, 5 km, and road mile distances, during which three world records were set in Riga.
