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

Through the charity initiative “Movement for Movement”, in cooperation with the Children’s Hospital Foundation, we invite you to help provide the opportunity to move to those who cannot – children with mobility impairments. Since the partnership began in 2019, runners have donated tens of thousands of euros to the Children’s Hospital Foundation every year – nearly EUR 150,000 in total. The donated funds are used each year to co-finance assistive devices for children, significantly improving their mobility and quality of life.

“Movement for Movement” is supported by Rimi and Latvian Television.
