On February 28, 2023, the #NaLyzhne corporate charitable online marathon launched by the Sistema Charitable Foundation, social investment operator Sistema JSFC, finished. In two and a half months, the participants ran 39,031 km - this is almost the circumference of the Earth at the equator!

The marathon was held on the principle of "sport with meaning": for each participant who ran the distance chosen during registration, the Foundation will transfer money for classes with tutors for pupils of social institutions as part of the fundraising educational project "Elevator without refusal". Participants recorded with a tracker application and uploaded to their personal account on the marathon platform the routes, trainings and trial distances they had passed, if they claimed victory in the personal classification for speed. Thus, the athletes managed to raise funds for more than 150 lessons with tutors for pupils of social institutions.

678 employees of AFK Sistema, MTS Group, Segezha Group, MEDSI, BESK, ERSO Holding, Agroholding Step, OZON, Binnopharm Group, Etalon Group, Sitronics Group, Concept Group, Cosmos Hotel Group and other companies of the Group took part in the marathon AFK Sistema, as well as the Fund itself.

BPGC, MTS and Sitronics Group showed the highest team involvement. In addition, the organizers kept a personal score to mark the most active participants.

ERSO employee Vladislav Chugunov took first place in the men's standings for the fastest passage of a distance of 10 kilometers. His time was 26 minutes. The second in this discipline was the representative of MTS (30 minutes), the third - the employee of MEDSI (33 minutes).

“ERSO employees supported the idea to take part in the marathon with surprising unanimity. Firstly, because #NaLyzhne is a charitable project, and Sistema Group and ERSO respond with great enthusiasm to the opportunity to help those who need it. And, of course, the marathon was a great opportunity for us to get together. Accomplish a noble task as a team. Unlike, for example, BESK, there are practically no professional skiers in ERSO, but together we overcame all difficulties,” said Vladimir Chernyshov, PR director of the ERSO holding.

By the way, BPGC employee Elmir Safiullin became the leader in terms of the total number of kilometers traveled. In total, he skied 1058 kilometers. Among women, Lyubov Gorshkova (MTS) became the best, she covered 1005 kilometers.

“Usually, a pilot project is “comfortable at first”, but we are happy to note that with #NaLyzhne, everything turned out exactly the opposite! All the tasks that we set when launching the corporate charitable online marathon have been completed, and this is best confirmed by the involvement and words of gratitude of the participants. There were days when more than 400 workouts were uploaded to the platform. For some, the action became the last argument to go and finally buy skis, for some it was the motivation to return to the ski track after a twenty-year break, for some it was to plunge into the intensity of sports wrestling. For many, it is very important that the sports project has a charitable goal, and together we also fulfilled this goal to the fullest!” said Alexander Torovtsev, curator of sports projects at the Sistema Charitable Foundation.

The awarding of gold holders for the speed of passing the distance will take place on March 12, at the Galich Zaozerye ski marathon.
