Complete five stages of "Stirnu buks" and receive the special anniversary season running shirt

Participants of the trail run series “Gjensidige Stirnu buks 2023″ will not be left without their favorite running shirts this year! If you participate in a minimum of 5 stages of the trail run series, you will get one free of charge at the trade tent of our reliable partners Sportland Latvija at the venue of the event!

Valuable information to keep in mind for participants of the distance "GARMIN FĒNIX Vilks"!

The challenging "GARMIN FĒNIX Vilks" distance will take us to our neighbors in Suur Munamägi, which will be the start of the longest distance of this "GJENSIDIGE Stirnu buks 2023" season. The length of distance is approximately 86 km.

The 1st stage date has been changed!

The beginning of the 10th season has brought us various challenges, which have forced us to change the venue of the competition for the first time in the history of Stirnu buks. However, these are far from the only changes affecting us in preparation for the new 2023 season. Respecting our days of remembrance and taking into account that March 25th is the day of remembrance of the victims of the Communist genocide, we have made a decision to move the Sila priežu Stirnu Buks a day later, to March 26th.

New distances also for hikers WITHOUT time control

Yes, we do know that classic marathon runners can be quite arrogant towards trail runners who are not so quick, as they are told to be just strolling in the forest instead of running, and trail runners look with suspicion on hikers because they are just forest tourists! Of course, this is quite an overstatement and we, a large majority of Roe bucks are not like this, are we?

“Gjensidige Roe buck” about to jump into its 10th season!

August 22nd, 2014 marks the birth of trail running culture in Latvia – its members proudly call themselves “roe bucks” for a tenth year already! In 2018 journalist Gunita Nagle wrote for the magazine “Ir”: “Just as pagans, most of the Latvian trail runners celebrate the beginning of a new year in spring. However, this is marked not by the solstice, but by the first stage of the trail run series “Roebuck”. The anticipation of upcoming events is incomparable to those of Christmas or even Summer Solistice. Excitement often goes hand in hand with a drop of self-doubt – am I physically ready for the heights to come?

Season cards of the trail run series “Gjensidige Stirnu buks” (Roe Buck) for 2023 and gift cards are available as of today!

Roe bucks set for a run around Riekstukalns on May 21st

Trail run series "Gjensidige Roe buck 2021/22." is fast approaching the finish of its season, despite next saturday’s “Riekstukalns Roe buck” being only the second race of this year. Yes, it is true that the restrictions for C-19 have mixed up the cards quite a lot for the organizers of the trail run series, so we will add three extra stages to the last season’s four, so that on June 18th you finish the run with greatest honor in the highest part of Latvia – Vestiena hills, near Gaiziņkalns!

"Roe buck" will trail around Smiltene for the first time on July 24th

Yes, this really took some courage, pulling ourselves together, daring and getting out of the “better to do nothing” zone (although, this is not a positive tendency for the nation’s overall spirit and vivacity )! Roe bucks are going to do everything with the upmost precautions available in order to organize something by following the restrictions and guidelines of organizing public events!
