On August 2 (Saturday), 5–6 p.m. (the time will be specified on the spot), the “Sportland” run in a circle (400 m) will take place at the central stadium of Palanga (Sporto St. 3). We invite children aged 4-6 to participate free of charge and become part of the Lithuanian Athletics Championship.
Together with the children, the distance will be covered by Lithuanian record holders and multiple champions Simas Bertašius and Giedrius Valinčius. Participants will have special numbers, and immediately after the finish they will be treated to ice cream.
Simas has become the Lithuanian champion as many as 38 times, and he also holds national records in the 1000 m, 1500 m, 1500 m indoors, 1 mile and 3000 m. Giedrius has worn the crown of the Lithuanian champion 6 times, and this year he also entered the record book when he improved the national record for 10 km road running.
Parents will be able to accompany their children on the track, and participants are asked to gather at the central entrance to the arena before the start (until 5 p.m.).
We would like to remind you that the Lithuanian Athletics Championships will take place in the renovated Palanga Stadium on August 1-3. The country’s most capable athletes will seek not only the championship titles, but also the local World Championships, which can be awarded by a fulfilled norm or ranking points.
The championship will be broadcast live on the lrt.lt portal for all three days, and on Saturday 16:00–19:00 and Sunday 10:30–12:30 you will be able to watch the competition on the LRT Plius channel. In addition, you can find broadcasts and recordings on our Facebook and Youtube channels.
