LVM MTB and Gravel Marathon Fourth Stage to Take Place in Ogre
On Sunday, July 10, the fourth stage of the LVM MTB and Gravel Marathon will be held in Ogre's Blue Hills, featuring multiple distances including children's races and a 65.9 km Gravel course.
The LVM MTB and Gravel Marathon season has passed its midpoint. After three exciting stages, initial leaders have emerged in the overall standings, and several surprises have been recorded, with new riders proving themselves.
The season continues this Sunday, when the fourth stage will take place in Ogre's Blue Hills. The Ogre area is known for its hilly terrain and beautiful natural scenery, allowing for challenging yet thrilling tracks.
The youngest participants will start first at 10:00 AM with the "Maxima" children's races, held at the Blue Hills ski stadium and its surroundings. At 11:30 AM, the "Toyota Gravel" distance will begin, covering 65.9 kilometers in two laps. This year's route is new and more exciting: it leads from the Blue Hills to Saulkalne, Lejaskalni, and Ikšķile, mostly on forest roads, with the finish again in the Blue Hills.
At 11:40 AM, the "LVM Atpūta" ride will start, a 20.42-kilometer distance that also includes youth group participants. Finally, at 12:15 PM, the most crowded race – the "Everest" MTB distance – will begin, covering 40.84 kilometers in two laps. This distance promises to be particularly demanding due to the hilly terrain.
