The fastest Signet Bank relay teams were honored; the bank's team made it into the top 10 of the Rimi Team Cup

This year, we partnered with the Rimi Riga Marathon for the first time, and we did so in a big way – by introducing two new events: the Signet Bank Half Marathon and Marathon Relays, which attracted more than 200 teams.

On May 27, the winners of the Rimi Team Cup in the small, medium, and large team categories were honored. We are proud that the Signet Bank team earned an honorable 8th place in the medium team category. At the same time, the fastest Signet Bank relay teams were also recognized.
