The total amount consists of the participation fee paid by each runner in the race. The money goes to a specific cause – to ensure proper care (i.e., nannies) for the children of women who are seriously ill.
TV/radio personality Valters Krauze hosted the activities, while entertainment, i.e. musical background, was provided by the youth choir "Balsis", conducted by Ints Teterovskis.
During the warm-up session before the race, the many children present had the opportunity to meet and speak with the real Santa Claus, who had set up station at the gigantic Riga City Christmas tree on the square.
