An active season in Narva-Jõesuu: starting in just one month

The season begins with the St. George’s Night Run, taking place on 25 April 2026 in Narva-Jõesuu. It is the opening stage of the Ida-Viru running series, a regional series that brings together events across Ida-Viru County and shapes a unified running season.

The course runs through both city streets and natural trails. Distances are available for different age groups and fitness levels, making the event accessible to a wide range of participants.

Registration for this year’s series is already open. It takes place via the Sportos platform, where participants can sign up for individual events or for the entire series. Creating an account is recommended, as it makes registration faster and keeps all results in one place. In addition to on-site payment, participation fees can be paid directly in Sportos via bank link, and soon also via Stebby. The general guidelines and registration are available here.

One of the most atmospheric running events of the summer takes place on 26–27 June 2026, connecting Narva and Narva-Jõesuu. Held during the white nights, the event offers a unique experience where the perception of space and time shifts.

The course runs through coastal landscapes, forest trails and long seaside sections. Participants can choose between distances of varying difficulty: EUTR (126 km), CUT (63 km), TTW (33 km) and T16 (16 km), as well as The Breakout format for wheelchair athletes.

The traditional Nautical Mile Run takes place in summer in Narva-Jõesuu, with the exact date to be announced. It is one of the most unique running events in the region, with part of the course on sand and part in shallow water.

The programme also includes children’s runs and fun formats, including popular runs in oversized Crocs, which always attract both participants and spectators.

The new Energizer Narva-Jõesuu Running Festival will take place on 20 September 2026 in Narva-Jõesuu and will mark a strong finish to the season. It is a seaside sports event that brings together participants of different ages and fitness levels. The routes run along the beach and through pine forests on soft terrain, offering comfortable conditions and a unique sense of movement in nature.

The programme includes 5 km, 10 km and 21.1 km distances, as well as children’s runs, so everyone can find a suitable way to take part.

At the beginning of the summer season, Narva-Jõesuu also hosts the traditional Mayor’s Cup beach football tournament, bringing players and spectators together by the sea.

For those looking for a more creative activity, the sand sculpture competition takes place as part of City Day on 7 August 2026 at 11:00 on Narva-Jõesuu beach near Meresuu Spa & Hotel. It is one of the most beloved summer events, combining creativity, teamwork and the atmosphere of a seaside resort. Participation is free, and watching the process is enjoyable for both adults and children.
