On 22 and 23 August, 2009, the three Baltic countries will renew the historic Baltic Way human chain in a 24-hour relay run, which will begin in Tallinn, Estonia, and Vilnius, Lithuania, and finish on the evening of 23 August at 20:00 in Riga, Latvia, at the country’s symbol of independence – the Freedom Monument.
The 678 kilometre-long relay run will be divided into 1 km segments, and every Balt is invited to join the leading runners at a location of their choice.
