In the hope of hope – even more participants
The tradition of support and solidarity in Lithuania in Lithuania this year did not start in the usual place – Revival Square, but at the Old Town, at the Old Marketplace. The Revival Square is still awaiting the wisers and still are similar to the war zone.
Reda Kadžiulienė, the coordinator of hope, assured that this year’s run was more active than in previous years, and over 4 thousand participants had already registered on the eve. Traditionally, the majority of participants intended to flee the longest hope for the marathon, but to participate in team running relays, where eight runners run 5.3 km. This track is named after Klaipeda City Municipality Simon Dach. Because Klaipeda celebrates the 420th birth anniversary of this year’s born poet.
The organizer of hope was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of small runners. The queues stretched to the registrators until the announcement of the individual running tracks.
This year, the runners started where the Old Town ends on Tiltų Street, continued to turn to the back Pylimo Street, landed on Pilies Street all the way to Heaven, hereafter on the new Port Street to S. Daukanto Street, ran to Troil Street and turned to Liepų Street to the Revival Square. Here they turned towards the Biržai Bridge and Tiltu Street reached the start.
