EST/LAT GRAVEL 24

The Mountain Biking Federation of Latvia, in collaboration with the Estonian Pro Cyclists Club, plans to organize 2 combined stages in two different cities in 2024:

Event Dates:

June 8 – Valga-Valka, where the Latvian National Gravel Championships of both countries will take place

June 30 – Smiltene

Project Objective:

To promote a healthy lifestyle and popularize it not only in the capital city but also in the regions of Latvia. By offering the residents of Smiltene district not only to participate in the competition but also to be part of the event organization. Residents are involved in creating the track, setting up competition venues, registering participants, and serving refreshment points along the track. The established competition route remains as a tourism and active recreation route, providing an opportunity to enjoy Latvia’s nature in a sporty way.

We are proud to announce that the co-financier of this stage is the European Union’s Estonia-Latvia Interreg program.

The total program funding for these stages is 59012.83 euros.

Co-funding from own capital for this project is 14753.21 euros.

A healthy lifestyle promotes a sustainable energy level necessary for daily activities and challenges. It helps individuals to be productive and effective in work, education, and personal life.

News

The 2nd stage of the Latvian State Forests Mountain Bike Marathon in Keipene has been moved to 14 May.

Dear cycling lovers. First of all, I would like to say a big thank you and congratulate you on the start of the new season! Cesis – Valmiera was a real holiday for every cyclist. The next stage, which will take place for the first time in Ķeipene, Ogre region, is fast approaching. The winter did not recede for a very long time this year, as a result of which there were very limited opportunities to plan and prepare the route of the new section in time. Although the conditions are now much more pleasant, there are still a number of significant challenges in preparing the track to be safe and enjoyable.

As a result, we are forced to make a decision to move the Ķeipene stage of the LVM MTB marathon a week later from May 7 to 14. Until then, the track will be prepared at the highest level for everyone to enjoy.

Hope of understanding,

The organizing team
