About the movement

The best ideas come from movement. It was when I ran from Sigulda to Līgatne, listening to the rock opera "Lāčplēsis," that the idea for what eventually became the concept "Run the Baltic Way 35" came to me. The song "Patiesībai" by the band "Instrumenti" was the final touch, making everything in my mind align so precisely that I decided not to leave this thought at the idea stage. The concept is ideologically simple, although I don't deny that its execution will require some physical effort.

This movement, "Run the Baltic Way," was created to remind us of the Baltic Way and affirm our unity in the name of freedom.

It is not aimed at making a profit or for advertising purposes. Participation is on a voluntary basis, and no compensation or tax benefits are provided for participating or offering support. Participation is for free :)

We are ordinary people working in daily jobs and spending time with families, we don't have any financial sponsors, how evere there are some supporters who are providing support in some kind of service, good advice or practical things.

Join us whenever you can!

The whole course will be covered in 8 days, the start is August 16 in Vilnius from the Gediminas Castle tower, while the finish is scheduled for August 23 in the Old Town of Tallinn.
