BYU “Lūša pēdās” jaunā formātā - SPRINTS!

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at the Jēkabpils Backyard Ultra loop?

But…You prefer speed over endurance?

You like knowing clearly when the finish will be?

Ritvars is always on the participants' list?

In our own backyard, we make our own rules of the game! That's why on 17 October at 9.00 we invite you to the BYU “Lūša pēdās” 6h sprint race!

At the start of every hour, participants will set off on the usual 6.7 km “Lūša pēdās” loop around Radžu ūdenskrātuve. One hour is given to complete each loop, but the winner will be the one who has spent the shortest time on the course, adding up the times of all six loops together.

Registration for the SPRINT until 12.10.2026. (25 €/30 €) - https://ej.uz/sprints26

After the finish, we will recover our strength together with a hearty barley porridge and create an unforgettable atmosphere of support for the Latvian national team participants, who will start at 15.00 in the World Team Championship.

One day. Two starts. 6h SPRINT and the Latvian team's battle on a world scale. See you in Jēkabpils!

The race is organised by the association “Skrien Jēkabpils!” in cooperation with Jēkabpils Sporta centrs.
