The main organizer of the race is the <strong>Stamina sports club<\/strong>. The partnership with Maru began in 2020, while the Lake Runs will celebrate 25th anniversary next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the title sponsor, Maru gives the organizers the assurance that lake runners will continue to receive all the services they need,&#8221; said Urmo Raiend, head of the Stamina sports club. &#8220;It also makes me happy that Maru&#8217;s employees actively participate\u00a0 in the races.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Maru, continuing as the name sponsor aligns well with our values, being an opportunity to support a popular and well-organised sports event and healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>The finale of the 2025 Lake Runs series, the \u00dclemiste Lake Run, was held on 9th of August. 533 participants ran in the 13.7-kilometre race, with <strong>Helen Bell<\/strong> and <strong>Leonid Latsepov<\/strong> winning for the third time in a row.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 1,402 runners participated in this year&#8217;s Maru Lake Runs, including 179 young people who covered the youth-focused distances. A total of 140 runners and walkers completed all four lake runs, with the oldest born in 1948 and the youngest in 2010. The winner titles of this year&#8217;s series were taken by <strong>Leonid Latsepov<\/strong> and <strong>Bret Sch\u00e4r<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Urmo Raiend noted that he was pleased to see so many top runners participate in the race, while it was also great to have a large number of kids enjoying the activities. Raiend added that the growth in the number of runners is also encouraging: this year saw more unique runners in both the main races and the youth runs. &#8220;This instills optimism for the next, 25th-anniversary season,&#8221; Raiend said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maru will continue as the main sponsor for the Maru Lake Runs next year, a series that takes sports enthusiasts&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21228,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"class_list":["post-21217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21217"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21234,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21217\/revisions\/21234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
