The partnership between the running series and Maru began in 2020, and the lake runs themselves will celebrate their 25th anniversary next year.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the title sponsor, Maru gives the series organizers the assurance that all the necessary arrangements for the lake runners will be taken care of,\u201d said Urmo Raiend, director of the Stamina Sports Club. \u201cIt\u2019s also great to see that Maru\u2019s own employees are actively participating in the series\u2019 races.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Maru, continuing as the title sponsor of the lake runs aligns well with our values, as it is an opportunity to support a popular, excellently organized sporting event and a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2025. The final stage of this year\u2019s lake run series, the \u00dclemiste Lake Run, took place on August 9. A total of 533 participants took part in the 13.7-kilometer race, with Helen Bell and Leonid Latsepov claiming victory for the third consecutive time.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of 1,402 runners participated in this year\u2019s Maru Lake Runs, including 179 participants in the mile runs for young people. A total of 140 runners and walkers recorded times in all four lake races, with the oldest born in 1948 and the youngest in 2010. Leonid Latsepov and Bret Sch\u00e4r were crowned this year\u2019s series champions.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urmo Raiend noted that he is pleased both by the participation of so many top Estonian runners and because the event series offers many activities geared toward children. He added that the growing number of runners is also a source of joy: this year, there were more diverse groups of runners in both the main races and the youth mile races. \u201cThis instills optimism for the upcoming 25th anniversary season,\u201d Raiend said.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maru-tiim-jarvejooksul-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2076\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maru-tiim-jarvejooksul-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2078\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maru-tiim-jarvejooksul-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2082\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maru-title-sponsor-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2084\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maru will continue as the main sponsor of the Maru Lake Runs next year as well, a running series that takes sports enthusiasts on a tour of lakes across Estonia.
