World Road Running Championships medals unveiled in Riga 23

With one month to go until the World Athletics Road Running Championships Riga 23, organisers have unveiled the design of the medals, created by Maija Rozenfelde and inspired by Latvian culture.

The medal design draws inspiration from Latvian artist Niklavs Strunke’s artwork ‘A Man Entering a Room’. That artwork is prominently showcased in a permanent exhibition at the Latvian National Museum of Art.

To strengthen the profound connection between Latvian culture and the World Road Running Championships, the starting point for the mile race will be situated at the base of this iconic museum.

Additionally, participants in the half marathon will have the privilege of running past this prominent architectural gem.
