What to expect

  • A weekend format (good for mixed runner groups)
  • Old Town + river views on course
  • Great city atmosphere for spectators

Planning tips

  • Book accommodation early—race weekends fill up fast in Old Town.
  • If you’re watching, pick one easy spot near the course and settle in; crossing the city is slower than it looks.
  • Bring a light layer: Riga mornings can feel cool even in May.
