Today, Tallinn Song Festival Grounds filled with movement, music and springtime energy as the LHV Women’s Run — the largest women’s movement event in the Baltics — took place for the 39th time.

For the third consecutive year, the 7 km race was won by Liis-Grete Hussar in 24:12. Second place went to Meril Adeela Alev (24:54), followed by Sandra Bulina (25:31).
