The University of Latvia (UL) invites students and staff to represent the university together once again in 2027 at the Baltic region’s largest running event – the Rimi Riga Marathon. The running celebration in Riga will take place on 16 May, bringing together thousands of running enthusiasts from Latvia and around the world.

Following the record-breaking UL participation in the 2026 Rimi Riga Marathon, when 578 UL students and staff registered for the event, we invite you to make the UL team even bigger in 2027 and compete together for the top places in the team rankings. In 2026, the UL team achieved an impressive 3rd place among the large teams.

These numbers show that running is becoming an increasingly important activity within the UL community. The Rimi Riga Marathon is not only an opportunity to test your physical abilities, but also to meet colleagues and fellow students, achieve goals together and represent the University of Latvia as one united team.

Members of the UL team can choose the challenge that suits them best – from a 6 km race to the full marathon.

If you have never taken part in a running event before, now is the perfect time to start. And if you are already an experienced runner, challenge yourself to set a new personal best!
