In the event’s campus near the Seimas Palace, entertainment was also found for the like-minded people, relatives and friends, who came to support the participants; for the passers-by, who eagerly joined unexpected fitness activities; and for the children, who had a great time in the spaces reserved for them. Fun for all tastes!
