The “Green Marathon” was held in Ust-Kamenogorsk
The traditional Green Mile race is a project of one of the most famous banks in Russia, and if our northern neighbors hold it annually, then it was held in Ust-Kamenogorsk only for the second time with a three-year break. However, a very, very noble reason forced the bank’s employees to return to the tradition – saving the life and health of a little one-year-old girl, Lunara Zhangalieva, who was born too early, only five months pregnant. So even now, when she turned one year old, she needs specific care. About 300 Ust-Kamenogorsk sports enthusiasts and professionals took part in the 2 km long race. Among the participants were such famous people as the champion of Kazakhstan in long jump Anastasia Zavodina, ex-head of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of East Kazakhstan Region Eldos Chikenov, multiple winners of national and regional competitions in stayer running Irina Troeglazova and Yuri Blinov, working at one of the large enterprises of the city, the winner of the international tournament “Children of Asia” in jumping Elizaveta Matveeva and many others are tall. The age of those who fought for victory varied from 5 to 70 years. Irina Troeglazova for women and Talgat Zakiryanov for men won the race. As a result of the campaign, all together managed to collect 342,169 tenge, which will be transferred to the representatives of the little girl. Alexey Gubanov Photo by the author A source: vksport.kz
