XXXV-as tradicinis tarptautinis estafetinis bėgimas „Baltijos Kelias“

The 35th traditional international relay race “Baltic Way” will take place on August 21–24, 2027. The race symbolically retraces the 1989 Baltic Way, when millions of Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians joined hands in pursuit of freedom and independence. The approximately 650-kilometer route runs from Vilnius through Riga to Tallinn, with runners taking turns to cover stages of varying lengths. This is not only a sporting event, but also a living history lesson and a celebration of community, bringing together participants and supporters from the three Baltic countries.

The race lasts four days, during which runners cover up to 200 kilometers each day. The event opens at Cathedral Square in Vilnius. Participants take turns in relay format, and the race is accompanied by meetings with people from towns and communities along the way. The event is part of the national physical activity program. It takes place over four days, with opportunities to meet and support the runners along the route, and commemorates the unity of the Baltic peoples.
