Support initiatives
The purpose of ours – to move Latvia – we have been faithfully committed to since the first day of the marathon.
As runners ourselves, we know the euphoria, joy, and optimism that running and being part of an event like the Rimi Riga Marathon can bring. That’s why we believe it’s important to give everyone the chance to experience it. We are expanding our own charity initiatives and supporting other organizations as well.
Programmes
Movement for movement
As part of the charity initiative “Movement for Movement”, in collaboration with The Children’s Hospital Foundation, we invite everyone to help those who cannot move—children with movement impairments. Since the initiative began in 2019, runners have donated tens of thousands of euros each year, totaling 100,000 EUR. These donations provide co-financing for technical aids that enhance mobility and improve children’s quality of life.
