“Heartbeats for the Baltics” – a Run for Baltic Unity
On 22 and 23 August, 2009, the three Baltic countries will renew the historic Baltic Way human chain in a 24-hour relay run, which will begin in Tallinn, Estonia, and Vilnius, Lithuania, and finish on the evening of 23 August at 20:00 in Riga, Latvia, at the country’s symbol of independence – the Freedom Monument.
The 678 kilometre-long relay run will be divided into 1 km segments, and every Balt is invited to join the leading runners at a location of their choice.
Everyone is welcome. Everyone is needed. It does not matter whether it is ten kilometres or ten steps. The important thing is unity. And that is what we all need the most today.
