Dozens of hikers are scheduled to participate in the 100-kilometre challenge on August 1st. This event marks the fifth iteration of the endurance race, which has established itself as an annual tradition in the capital of Dzūkija. Each year, numerous hikers who seek to test their physical limits join the challenging undertaking.
For this fifth year, the event will feature a new route, departing from Kaunas, which currently serves as the temporary capital. The march is part of a broader Lithuanian initiative organized by the Hunting Association, emphasizing the positive aspects of civic engagement. Rimgaudas Leonavičius, the event’s initiator and a resident of Alytus, noted the consistent participation, stating, “Many people return to the march after having tried it once, and some even return for the fifth time.” He emphasized that the core value of the march lies in the shared positive experiences derived from civic activities.
The annual challenge continues to attract participants looking to complete the 100-kilometre distance without overnight accommodation. The consistent return of hikers across multiple years underscores the event’s appeal as both a physical test and a community gathering. The planned route change for this year ensures a novel experience for the hikers participating in the fifth year.
