Entertainment
“IKI Velomarathon” attracts every year not only professional cyclists but also enthusiasts of this sport! 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!
