VILNIUS TECH employees are invited to the traditional autumn run-walk, co-organized by the university and the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). This year’s event is special as it marks the tenth edition, so we invite you not only to spend an active afternoon but also to celebrate this wonderful milestone together.
Participants will enjoy the scenic and well-loved route in the Kairėnai Botanical Garden. You can choose a distance of 3, 6, or 9 km; the majority of the route is paved.
If running isn’t your cup of tea, we invite you to choose the 3 km walking route! It is also perfect for Nordic walking (if you don’t have poles but would like to try them, the Sports and Art Center (SMC) will have a dozen pairs available on-site; just make sure to indicate during registration that you would like to reserve a pair).
After an active afternoon, all participants will be treated to hot Lithuanian buckwheat porridge (with or without bacon bits) and tea.
The tenth event is a great opportunity to get together and celebrate! To make the anniversary mood even more festive, we encourage you to come wearing birthday accessories or items featuring the number ten: a sticker, earrings, a hat, balloons, etc. Delicious and healthy prizes await those who dress up!
