“It’s extremely exciting for us to celebrate this first big anniversary,” said Ksenia Shoigu, head of the organizing committee of the half marathon “Zabeg.RF”. — Ten years ago, when we held “ZaBeg” for the first time, uniting only 10 cities, it seemed like a bold step to the whole team. Today, looking back, we are proud to realize that our project has grown into a global idea that has embraced not only the entire country, but also more than 30 foreign countries.”
