About 2,600 people took part in the Jüri Jaanson Two Bridges running festival, described as Pärnumaa’s biggest sporting event.

The weather proved kinder than the previous year, when participants faced intense heat. This time, 1,134 runners entered the 10-kilometer race and 252 hikers gathered outside the Endla Theatre around midday, with temperatures at 16 degrees Celsius and a light, refreshing wind.

The Two Bridges race also decided Estonia’s national 10-kilometer road-running champions. The athletics federation sent about 50 elite runners to the summer capital, and they ultimately took the top places.
