MORNING RUN with the Local Committee
Kickstart your day with fresh air, light exercise, and barrier-free networking! We invite all conference attendees to join us for an informal “Run with the Local Committee.” This is a fantastic opportunity to chat with the locals and fellow colleagues in a relaxed, unstructured environment before the day’s sessions begin. On the second day of the conference (June 26th), we will gather at 6:45 AM at the Vilnius White Bridge (Baltasis tiltas), just across the street from the conference hotel (AC Hotel Vilnius. From there, we will head out on a paved route along the Neris River. The riverfront is Vilnius’s most popular running destination, offering beautiful morning views of the city. The distance will be roughly 5 kilometers (just over 3 miles). We will maintain a relaxed, recovery-style pace of about 6:40–7:10 min/km (about 10:45–11:30 minutes per mile). The goal is conversation and camaraderie, not setting a new personal best! No need to register—just lace up your running shoes and meet us at the bridge!
A Night KAYAKING Adventure
Looking for a unique way to finish the conference? On the evening of June 26 (Friday), join us for a scenic and relaxing evening on the Neris River as we trade the conference rooms for the calming waters of nighttime Vilnius. We will pick you up from the conference hotel at 9:30 PM on June 26. Although the adventure takes place in the evening, the sun sets very late at this time of year (around 22:00), so it will not be dark during the trip. The entire trip will take approximately 2.5 hours (including transit and ~2 hours on the water). The trip will start at the conference hotel (AC hotel Vilnius), launch from Valakupiai Beach, and finish near the White Bridge, located just 200 meters from the conference hotel.
Cost is €30 per person, all-inclusive, i e., professional guide/supervision, kayak, paddle, life vest rental, and shuttle transportation. Please register by June 16 via https://forms.gle/NnMJ5n9sPHDca6ZCA. No payment is required upfront; payment details will be provided later.
