In 2013, firefighter Aidas Ardzijauskas comopleted a remarkable journey around the Baltic Sea, running for 45 days and covering a distance of 3,263 km., on average, running 72 km per day. His adventure started on August 1st, 2013 in Klaipėda, Lithuania. The journey traversed neighboring countries such as Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Poland. 

    Accompanying A. Ardzijauskas on his journey was a dedicated team of assistants who provided logistical support, including arranging food, coordinating accommodation, and managing border crossings. They traveled alongside him in a support vehicle, which also carried a bike for escorting A. Ardzijauskas while he ran. Throughout the run, the composition of the support team changed as different members joined or left. A. Ardzijauskas relied on a diet mainly consisting of grains and pasta, and he stayed in various accommodations, including hotels, with friendly locals, and even in fire stations along the route.

    Aidas packed eight pairs of shoes for the journey. He ended up using only three pairs, discarding the worn-out ones along the way.
