In just a month, an important competition will start – the Rojas Ultramarathon Festival, where three different distances are planned. The longest of them will be the 24-hour distance, where the runners will fight for the medal sets of the Latvian championship. The length of the track circle is 1234 m, the surface is the stadium and the asphalt of the nearest streets. Runners will be able to test their abilities and also overcome their inner doubts, trying to break the limits set.
However, it should be remembered that you don’t necessarily have to push yourself to the point of exhaustion, because everyone will be able to choose how long to run, because you don’t have to run for the whole 24 hours. After running even one lap, the participant is already registered as a participant of the Latvian championship.
The course, which is certified by World Athletics – AIMS, will be fast because it is flat – no ups and downs. The organizers have specially created it so that everyone can achieve a personal record. The Rojas Ultramarathon Festival is not just about records. Participants will be able to enjoy the fresh air of the seaside and pine forests.
In addition to the longest 24-hour distance, the organizers also offer a 12-hour night run and a 6-hour Ultra sprint, so those interested in running will be able to choose the distance that suits them. Both experienced runners and those who will participate in the ultramarathon for the first time are planning to go to Roja on May 24.
“At the Rojas Ultramarathon Festival, the atmosphere will be great, and the participants will be able to enjoy mutual encouragement and support while running, as well as fun being together before and after the race. It will be a real Ultramarathon festival,” says the organizer and fan of long distances, Artis Zariņš, with confidence.
