Estonian Wilderness Marathon 2024

Tõeline maastiku maraton, mille rada viib Sind läbi Eesti kaunite ja puutumatute metsade ja rabamaastiku. Samavõrra, kui jooksuvõistlus, on see ka ekspeditsioon läbi Eestimaa metsase kõnnumaa. Rada algab Tammsaare "Tõe ja Õiguse" tegevuspaigast Albu vallas ja lõpeb Kõrvemaa Maastikukaitseala keskuses Aegviidus.

About the Race

This is a real trail marathon which takes you through beautiful native fore sts and bogs of Estonia. As much as a running race, it is also a point to point expedition through uninhabited wilderness. This run is not for the faint hearted. Dropping out is not possible. Once at the starting line, you have to push through until finish line on your own power. The reward is the most special achievement and memories that Estonian nature can offer. Race course runs mostly on narrow forest paths and dirt roads, but there are also rough sections without trail that really challenge the spirit. The easiest and some think most beautiful section is the boardwalk through Kakerdaja bog. The height differences are not large in Estonia and they are mainly formed by crossing some hills from Ice Age. The course is marked with ribbons, arrows and hiking trail signs. All participants can download the GPS data of the course. The course is open for 7,5 hours, which means that it can also be completed as a fast hike. Runners can also choose to undertake 42 km distance or 15 km distance which also finish in Aegviidu.
