The winners will be determined by evaluating individual results for all teams that will have at least 10 participants finish the courses of the inaugural World Athletics Road Running Championships.

The opportunity to compete will be provided in mass starts on four distances - 21 km, 21 km relay (10.2 km + 10.9 km), 5 km, and one mile (1609m). All races will take place on October 1st.

🏆 Award Ceremony

Determining the Winners

In the Signet Bank Team Cup, the TOP 10 teams will be determined in each category:

Small (10-29 participants),

Medium (30-49 participants),

Large (50+ participants).

At the same time, we commit to determine the most active companies from different sectors, such as retail, finance, manufacturing, tourism, etc.

Winners will be determined based on the performance of team participants in their age groups - automatically summing up the 10 highest individual positions (numbers) for small teams, 30 highest positions for medium teams, and 50 for large teams. This evaluation system allows for an equal assessment of all participants in the distances (from Road Mile to 5 km, 21 km relay, and 21 km).

Teams can receive their starting numbers as follows:

Each team participant individually takes their number at the World Championship of Running EXPO on September 29th and September 30th from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It's also possible to collect multiple numbers at once; however, to avoid unnecessary congestion and to keep the number line moving smoothly, we will issue no more than 5 numbers to one person. If you wish to collect more (for example, for all your colleagues), I apologize, but you will need to line up again!

Using courier service recieve the numbers at the office: The team representative can arrange for the team's numbers to be packaged and delivered to the office in Latvia through the DPD courier service. This service must be arranged from August 15th to September 15th by 11:59 PM by filling out the application form.

The bib numbers will be handed over to the courier on September 25th. You will receive them at the specified address from September 25th to September 29th.

Fees for the service:

For the selection, packaging, and delivery of up to 50 bib numbers: 100.00 + VAT, i.e. 121.00 EUR.

Bib numbers for teams with 51 or more participants: 130.00 + VAT, i.e. 157.30 EUR.

Additionally, each participant can individually order their starting number for a locker (only your own number can be ordered). The fee for this service is 5 EUR.
