"Outdo Yourself" 12-hour race & 6-hour relay

"Surpass Yourself" is an endurance run that takes place in Riga, around Mara Pond, and whose main idea is not to "be the first," but to learn perseverance. This is an event for those who want to test their mental endurance under prolonged stress, find their rhythm, and see how much they can achieve with a calm mind and willpower. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive, suitable for both amateurs and experienced runners, and the main goal is to keep moving until the finish line with a positive attitude.

The course is certified, the lap length is 1.355 km, and the event will take place on April 11, 2026. In order to maintain the spirit of fair competition, pacing is prohibited, and any assistance is only allowed in the start/finish area and approximately 100 meters beyond it.

• 12-hour solo run The 12-hour run is a classic endurance format, where the task is simple yet challenging: run as many laps as possible in 12 hours. The start is at 7:00 a.m., and this distance is especially popular with those who enjoy long-term strategy: distributing your energy correctly, maintaining a steady pace, adjusting your rhythm in time, and with each passing hour strengthening your conviction that you can do more than you thought at the start. It is a test not only for your legs, but also for your mind. • 6-hour relay The 6-hour relay is a team endurance adventure with clear rules for changing runners: team members can change an unlimited number of times, but the change can only take place after each full lap in the start/finish area. This format allows you to run the fastest laps, play with tactics, and at the same time preserve the main idea of the event — perseverance and progress. The relay is a great choice for teams of friends, clubs, or groups who want a common goal and a real team spirit until the finish line.

The finish for both starts is at 7:00 p.m., with the award ceremony scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
