Rietumu Bank supported the 27th Riga Cycling Marathon hosted last week in the capital of Latvia. Rietumu has been sponsoring the event for more than 10 years.

This year around 2 thousand (a record number!) professionals and amateurs participated in the marathon. The cyclists could select one of three distances with different levels of difficulty: family distance (12 km), amateur distance (22 km) and national distance (76 km).

Riga Cycling Marathon winner, Tom Skuyinsh – an 18-year old Latvian cycling talent and member of the bank’s cycling team “Rietumu-Delfin”, hit the 76-km distance in 1 hour, 50 minutes and 45 seconds with the average speed 45.8 km per hour.
