Take a look at LHV Women's Run medals
Again, over ten thousand participants are expected for LHV Women's Run. The medals for Estonia’s largest women’s fitness event this year are inspired by spring cherry blossoms.
Active registration is underway for the LHV Women's Run which will take place on May 18th at Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. So far, registration numbers are 10% higher compared to last year, promising to gather well over ten thousand fitness enthusiasts for the traditional spring event.
At LHV Women's Run, women and girls can participate in a 7-kilometer route, either by running, walking, or Nordic walking. Participants can choose between timed or untimed categories. The running and walking paths lead through the scenic roads and trails around the Song Festival Grounds and Maarjamäe. The event will also feature the traditional spring concert and a health fair at the festival grounds.
From the beginning of May until the day of the LHV Women's Run (May 1–18), there will also be a virtual children’s race and combo run, which is suitable for all fitness enthusiasts. For the combo, participants must complete a half marathon (21 km) over 18 days by walking or running in sections, on a route of their choice, until the full distance is reached. The virtual race serves as excellent motivation and training ahead of the main event at the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.
The LHV Women's Run medals, made from recycled metals, are adorned with cherry blossoms this year. These delicate petals have inspired artists and poets for centuries. The cherry blossom is also seen as a symbol of feminine beauty and purity.
Priit Verlin, the creator of the medal design, explained: “The cherry blossom is regarded as a symbol of feminine beauty and purity: ‘You are as beautiful as a cherry blossom!’ This is one of the highest compliments in Japan, naturally addressed to women. But it’s not just for Japanese women. Blooming cherry trees are also a sign of the coming summer in our beautiful Estonia, making the cherry blossom a perfect fit for the medal that will be awarded to all those who complete this year’s LHV Women's Run. Come and participate in LHV Women's Run and bloom alongside the cherry trees,” invites Estonia’s most renowned medal designer, encouraging women and girls to sign up for this springtime event.
LHV Women's Run is the largest women’s health and fitness event in Estonia, with over 200,000 dedicated women having participated over the course of 35 years. The first run was held in 1988.
