Until May 29, participants can register online for the Elephant Babite Race, which will be held June 1 and 2, or more precisely, the night between the two dates, according to race organizer Vilmars Zeme.
Traditionally, the start and finish will be at the recreation complex "Bejas" in Babite district. There are two distances, 12 and 29 kilometers. Start - June 1 at 7 pm "There is no need to be afraid to run at night. Everybody who has started has always finished," V.Zeme encourages to participate. He explains: "If you have been driving a car on the highway at night, you have noticed that there are reflectors at the posts. Night markings are similar. Special light-reflective materials are attached to the trees and can be seen even further than daytime ribbons and paper arrows on the trees. Just like during the day, during the night races on the longest track, athletes will have a chance to have a drink and a little snack." Organizers remind that there is a mandatory set of equipment. Be sure to check that there is a forehead or hand lamp and a red flashing or lit lamp on the back - either on your head or on your bag - before leaving the forest. You must also have a charged phone with you.
The start of the race dates back to Kuldiga district Renda parish at the Elephant Lake four years ago. Initially, it was only intended as a small workout for those planning to go downhill skiing in the future, where the track often has to be in the dark.
