EXPO

 

The World Athletics Road Running Championships Riga 23 EXPO will take place at Hanzas Perons! This means that you should head to 16A Hanzas Street to pick up your race number, catch up on the latest news, meet the extensive community runners and enjoy the pre-race atmosphere!

World Athletics Road Running Championships EXPO:

When: Sep 29 – 30

Where: Hanzas Perons, Hanzas Street 16a, Riga

Opening hours: 10 am - 8 pm

 

Please take note!

Do I need documents to receive a bib number?

Don't forget to bring a personal identification document and the registration confirmation letter with you - you will need to present them when picking up your start number.

Will I be able to collect my race number outside of EXPO working hours?

If you cannot collect your race number during the EXPO working hours (September 29 - 30, 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM), you have the alternative to avail an additional service through your registration profile - the last-minute number pick up. This service is priced at 5 euros (available for purchase until 10:00 AM on September 30th). Upon purchasing, you will need to retrieve your bib number at the Information Center located near the start and finish line at the 11th November Embankment.

Can one person collect multiple starting numbers?

To avoid unnecessary congestion and to ensure that the number pickup line moves quickly, we will only issue up to 5 numbers per person. If you want to pick up more (for example, for all your colleagues), sorry, but you'll have to queue again!
