Forta PRO team participates in Riga Marathon

May 20, 2018 - Forta PRO team participated in Riga Marathon, joining more then 37 500 participants from 78 countries. We congratulate our colleagues on their sport achievements: Gints Bīmanis – 21km, Kristaps Miķelsons – 21km, Kristaps Zeps – 21km, Mārcis Rancāns – 10km, Pāvels Saveļjevs – 6km, Jānis Ploks – 6km, Rinalds Viļumsons -6km, Sandra Jansone – 6km, Kristīna Buluševa – 6km, Evita Sproģe – 6km, Ilze Egle – 6km.

Kristaps Mikelsons, Forta PRO Project Manager (semi-marathon) says: “This marathon was different from the previous ones, from the point of view of the goals set and from the feelings. The main task of this year I had to run in the finish with my wife, to whom it was the first half-marathon. We managed to do it successfully in spite of the difficulties encountered during the process. A pleasant surprise and extra energy charge was an interesting route with a variety of entertaining and cheering events along the entire length of the road. To learn how to run, you have to run!”

Kristaps Zeps, Forta PRO Project Manager (semi-marathon), says: “It's not the first time I was participating in marathon events. I have run half marathon in Portugal as well but running in Latvia and being a part of one of the thousands always makes me anxious and excited. This year it was even more special as the marathon is part of the Latvia centenary celebration. That kept me motivated and inspired to push myself till the end even when my legs wanted to give up around the 17 th km sign and my knee hurt bad. I'm proud I could be part of this event and represent Forta Pro.”

It was great feeling of team spirit and complicity!
