On Saturday, more than 800 running enthusiasts from all over Lithuania gathered at Vingis Park. Local Vilnius runners as well as participants from Kaunas, Klaipėda, Panevėžys, Jonava, Utena, Utena, Zarasai and other cities attended the traditional women’s racing event.
Each year, running not only brings participants into competition, it also brings them together. Mothers with daughters, friends, partners, sisters participate in the women’s race, thus creating feminine communion, supporting and motivating each other.
This year, the event venue became Vingis Park, so on a hot summer day, participants were more easily able to cross the 5 km route in the middle of a tree. The beginning and the end awaited the women in the Vingis stage.
The winner of this year’s women’s race was Gitana Akmanavičiūtė, who covered 5 km in 18 minutes 34 seconds, second place went to Inga Cimarmanaitė (19 minutes, 9 seconds) and third place went to Rūta Šimkūnaitė (19 minutes, 34 seconds). The three winners, as well as the winners of places IV – VI, received gifts from the sponsors of the event.
The women’s race was also attended by the running teams, the largest of which was the Bėgimo klubas team, which won the biggest team cup and gifts from sponsors.
Pritt’s children’s running track was waiting for the little runners here: a hundred and a half young athletes ran a lap around the Vingis stage.
Not only the race itself was waiting for the participants of the event, already from 4 pm. Various activities and entertainments awaited the participants of the stage and their fans in the city of the corridor. In the recreation and leisure area of the main sponsor of the event, Decathlon, women played badminton and beach tennis, in the Neptune area they tested their balance and Vilnius healthier: the welfare office did examinations of the feet and body composition. In the Pritt children’s area, the entertainers entertained the little runners.
Organizers of the event ensure that the annual women’s-only racing event develops an audience of positive, healthy people of the opposite sex. For them, this holiday has already become an annual tradition to play sports together, make time together meaningful, and inspire each other for active leisure.
Next year’s women’s race will be held again in the summer, a new date will be announced soon.
