About the Event

Test the ultimate limits of your mental and physical endurance. The "Pārspēj Sevi" (Overcome Yourself) event, organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, is a unique 12-hour solo ultra run and a 6-hour team relay held on Saturday, 11 April 2026, on a certified 1.355 km loop around Māras dīķis (Māra's Pond) in Riga. The core philosophy is not to beat others, but to overcome your own limits, inviting participants to run with a smile and discover their true capacity through positive focus and willpower. The 12-hour race starts at 7:00 AM, while the team relay begins at 1:00 PM, with both finishing at 7:00 PM to a celebratory atmosphere. In a world of high-pressure racing, this event offers a profoundly different, meditative, and community-focused challenge that celebrates personal perseverance and inner victory. It is the perfect arena for runners of all levels to explore the boundaries of distance and time in a supportive, international environment.
