Kuldīga Half Marathon

The Kuldīga Half Marathon showcases Latvia's charming "Latvian Venice" with Baltic character. Runners navigate medieval cobblestone streets, cross Europe's widest waterfall, and explore surrounding countryside that captures this Baltic nation's understated beauty. August's pleasant summer provides ideal racing conditions as participants experience both Kuldīga's perfectly preserved historic center and natural landscapes beyond. The moderately challenging course features gentle hills that showcase the region's rolling terrain while maintaining good time potential. Latvian spectators create an atmosphere of genuine but reserved encouragement reflecting the national character. This hidden gem captures Latvia's distinctive charm—historically fascinating yet refreshingly unpretentious—offering both athletic challenge and cultural discovery in one of Europe's most overlooked destinations where red-tiled roofs and wooden architecture create a fairytale setting for this uniquely Baltic racing experience.
