As promised this week we had drawing for international participants to win 2-night stay at the official hotel of the race “Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija”. And the winner is from Germany - Katharina Schoene who on May 20 will run half-marathon. Congratulations and we will get in touch with the winner to arrange the receiving of the prize.
