On October 11, the traditional autumn track and field race “Yenisei-Father” will take place on the Central Embankment in Krasnoyarsk. This was reported to the mayor's office.
Athletes and runners will cover one of the distances to choose from: 5 or 21.1 km. At 10:00 the participants of the 5-kilometer distance will start. 450 Krasnoyarsk residents over 12 years old will have to cover a given distance in one hour. At 10:45 a.m. the grand opening of the sports festival will take place, as well as the award ceremony for winners and runners-up.
At 11:00 the half marathon distance of 21.1 km will start. It is expected that 350 people will take part. They have to run 4 laps along the embankment in 3 hours. The race will be held in eight age categories among Krasnoyarsk residents 18 years and older.
Before each start, according to tradition, there will be a warm-up. This will be a small set of exercises to warm up muscles and joints from professional athletes.
“Such events are no longer just races. This is a real holiday of like-minded people who find new friends in a large circle.
