“Half of the territory of Latvia is covered with forests, which provides unlimited opportunities for all citizens of Latvia to spend their free time actively – in fresh air and in healthy environment. Forest is a perfect environment for improving and developing your physical shape daily, but during competition – for testing your physical abilities. In forest, the most beautiful are healthy young forest stands, that is why it is joy to watch how many children and youth participate in the Latvia's State Forests Mountain Bike marathon,” says Tomass Kotovičs, the head of LVM Communication department.
