2. PURPOSE

• To promote running and an active lifestyle among people of all ages.
• To connect people and sports clubs who share an interest in running.
• Charity - We are cooperating with Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi Lastefond (Children's Foundation) to help children with mobility impairments.
• To offer an entertaining, joyful and unique experience to all participants.
 

3. DISTANCES

• 10 km Main distance- The most popular race at E-Lux Peetri Jooks, with timekeeping, rankings and awards. Everyone who is at least 16 years old and physically able of running or walking 10 kilometres is welcome to participate. People younger than 16 must have a parent's written permission to participate. 

• 5 km Lastefond charity distance - A race for charity and for moving together. Everyone who is physically fit enough to run or walk the distance is welcome to participate. Finish times will be recorded and the fastest in the general classification will be awarded, but the main goal of this race is to simply enjoy moving.

• 5 km youth distance - As the name suggests, this distance is meant for young athletes. Finish times will be recorded and there will be awards for the fastest. Boys and girls born 2007-2014 are welcome to participate. Younger children must have a parent's written permission to participate in this race.

• 250 m Ace Logistics children's runs - A race for the smallest runners of the family, taking place right in the race centre. There are no rankings and results at the children's races because every participant is a winner.

• E-Lux Peetri Run virtual distance - It is a distance where you can choose your own distance, time and place. For example, combine your everyday running track with E-Lux Peetri Jooks and become a part of the great E-Lux Peetri Jooks fan club! No records are kept in the virtual run of E-Lux Peetri Jooks, ie the results do not have to be uploaded and a common protocol is not drawn up for the virtual runners, because each runner can choose the distance they like. E-Lux Peetri Jooks's full glory medal will be sent to those who have purchased a virtual race ticket. The package also includes a selection of products from the prize buffet, which can be sent to the XS-size box of the parcel machine. The gifts of the virtual runners will be placed in the parcel machine on June 10, 2024 and the estimated time of arrival is within 2-7 days.
