About Women's Run
MAIJOOKS GETS THOUSANDS OF ACTIVE WOMEN MOVING!
Maijooks (Women's Run) is the biggest sports event for women in Estonia. The first Maijooks took place in 1988 on the initiative of the Maiklubi club, having lured a couple hundred women into taking part in the run. Since 2009 Women's Run has been organised by Sport Event Team (Spordiürituste Korraldamise Klubi), and the present participation record is 16 000 sports enthusiasts. For a small country like Estonia this is a phenomenal number. At times women manage to demonstrate even better results than men.
The Women's Run has played an important role in shaping trends in physical activity among women. Women's Run is the largest ever women's health and physical activity event in Estonia, with over a quarter of a million women getting involved in sports over the past thirty-four years. The 7 km course is suitable for everyone and can be run or walked at a suitable pace. The 3 km RIMI Girls' Run for young people is also gaining in popularity.
The LHV Women's Run welcomes you with entire family, as there is plenty activities for everyone at Tallinn Song Festival Grounds! The Limpa Kids' Races will be in the programme, as well as the highly popular area for men that will offer exciting challenges. Health Fair will be also open for visitors. The day will end with the traditional big spring concert.
