Triple the Energy: The First Women\u2019s Half Marathon Relay<\/strong><\/p>\n Why run it alone when you can share the journey?<\/p>\n New in 2026, the Women\u2019s Half Marathon Relay<\/b> brings teams of three women together to complete the 21.1 km distance \u2014 approximately 7 km each. Friends, colleagues, training partners \u2014 this is your chance to turn a challenge into a shared celebration.<\/p>\n Smooth handovers at the start area, the option to cross the finish line together, individual medals for every runner, and the vibrant Maijooks festival atmosphere make this far more than a race \u2014 it\u2019s an experience.<\/p>\n This will be the first women-only half marathon relay in Estonia and the wider region<\/b>. A new tradition begins here.<\/p>\n Internationally Recognized. Globally Connected.<\/b><\/p>\n Starting in 2026, LHV Maijooks is officially a member of AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races)<\/b> \u2014 placing the event on the global running calendar and confirming its international quality standards.<\/p>\n Even more significantly, Maijooks is the first women\u2019s running event in the Baltics and Eastern Europe<\/b> to join AIMS\u2019 global women\u2019s program. This recognition highlights the strength of Estonia\u2019s sporting culture and the rising momentum of women\u2019s running across the region.<\/p>\n Part of a Global Movement<\/b><\/p>\n Running is one of the world\u2019s most popular sports \u2014 yet fewer than 10% of races are designed exclusively for women. That is changing fast.<\/p>\n Women-only races now have separate world records and rankings, and international organizations are actively supporting women-focused events. The space for women\u2019s running is growing \u2014 and Tallinn is now part of that global shift.<\/p>\n Run. Travel. Celebrate.<\/b><\/p>\n Women\u2019s running events are becoming powerful reasons to travel, connect, and create unforgettable memories. Combine fitness with friendship. Competition with culture. Challenge with celebration.<\/p>\n Tallinn\u2019s charm, the spring atmosphere of Maijooks, and the iconic Song Festival Grounds create the perfect setting for this new chapter in women\u2019s running.<\/p>\n This is more than a race. Registration is now open.<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThis is history in motion.<\/p>\n
