From July 10 to 13, Valmiera will become the capital of BMX, as the city hosts one of the year’s most significant sport events – the UEC BMX Racing European Championships, bringing together athletes and fans from across Europe.To honor this major event, a special photo orienteering game “BMX Code: Valmiera!” has been created, inviting locals and visitors not only to celebrate but also to actively and excitingly explore Valmiera’s cycling culture. The orienteering game can be played from July 1 to 13.
The orienteering game is designed as a fun leisure activity for families, groups of friends, students, and cyclists. Participants must identify and visit nine locations or landmarks in and around Valmiera shown in the photos. All sites are connected to cycling – some with historical importance, others modern or thematic. At each location, participants must find a sticker with the BMX Championship logo and a QR code, which reveals a hidden word.
The goal of the game is to entertain and educate participants while showcasing cycling-related locations in Valmiera and nearby areas, thus promoting the European BMX Cycling Championship.
On July 14, three lucky winners will be randomly drawn to receive €20 gift cards from the store “Gandrs.”
