Latvian Health Week Griškānu parish - running serial 50 km 7 days
From May 28 to June 3, Latvia's Health Week 2018 was held throughout Latvia. Moveweek. As part of this event, THE parish of Griškānu had not yet been a running serial, during which the participants had to win 50 kilometres in 7 days.
Every day at 19.00 eveiyone ran into the parking lot next TO THE parish administration OF Griškānu. The beginning was very optimistic, because on the first day, just after the previous day, “BigBank running Latvia” semi-marathon came to a nine-hour run. A sunny time, a great atmosphere, and a desire to improve his physical fitness, as well as to examine his abilities, motivate participants to win each of the following distances: 1 st day - 5 km, 2 nd day - 7.09 km, 3 rd day - 12 km, 4 th day - 5.46 km, 5 th day - 7.23 km, 6 th day - 7.28 km, 7 th day - 8.71 km.
At the meeting of the second day, THE running serial was also joined BY Griškānu parish manager Janis Alexandre, who directed a fairly significant pace for all the runners, with a distance of 7.09 km. A great start, a pleasant fatigue despite the heat.
In the first two days, the runners were in a small number, but, starting with the 3 rd day, there were much fewer participants in the distance, but this did not prevent the common goal from running for a period of 50 km in 7 days. Moreover, on the last day, three participants, including the head of the parish administration, exceeded the 50 km border by up to 2.77 km and the total distance in seven days was 52.77 km.
