Jaunakmenė Stirnu Buks – For the First Time Entirely ‘Outdoors’!
This year’s Stirnu Buks running series will make history with a special milestone – for the first time. The race will take place entirely “outdoors” – beyond the territorial borders of Latvia!
Since we promised to trace the footsteps of the Semigallians, who in the 13th century fled to what is now Lithuania under the pressure of Christian armies, it’s only fitting to venture deeper into Lithuanian territory – to Jaunakmenė!

An Unforgettable Adventure
However, this quarry is not open to everyone – it is still active and operates 24/7. It’s a customarily restricted area where active industrial work still takes place. Straight out of a ‘Star Wars’ scene, giant machines can be seen here every day! In 50 years, this place is set to become a stunning recreational complex, but for now – let’s seize the moment!
