This Saturday, January 20, will see hundreds of racers put on their ice skates for the Mulgi Ice Skating marathon on Lake Viljandi. It is possible to compete over two distances, 10 and 30 km.
Now is the best time of the year to enjoy winter sports in Estonia, when the snow and ice have painted the country with their frosty beauty. And, the Mulgi Ice Skating Marathon on Lake Viljandi is an unforgettable experience that is worth seeing and experiencing.
You can participate in either the 10-kilometer or 30-kilometer race depending on your skill and endurance. The shorter distance will begin at 12 noon with the longer race starting a little later at 1:15 pm.
Registration for both races is still available on the official event website here, and will also be available on the day up until 15 minutes before each race.
