16.03.2023
On March 12, in the village of Toltunovo, a sports festival "Galician Zaozerye" was held, which every year gathers hundreds of professionals and amateurs of skiing from all over Russia in the Kostroma region.
During the event, the organizers from the Sistema Charitable Foundation solemnly presented awards to the winners of the charity marathon of Sistema Group companies #NaLyzhne.
The #NaLyzhne marathon was held on the principle of “sport with meaning”: for each participant who ran the distance chosen during registration, the Sistema Charitable Foundation transfers money to prepare pupils of social institutions for exams as part of the fundraising educational project “Elevator without refusal”. The participants recorded the passage of the distance with a tracker application and uploaded it to their personal account on the marathon platform.
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 from more than 90 cities and small towns in Russia. Participants ran 39,031 km in 75 days and raised funds for 164 tutoring sessions.
To mark the most active participants, the organizers kept a personal score: the number of training sessions during the marathon days, the total number of kilometers traveled and the fastest distance. Commemorative cups of the marathon were won by the fastest in the men's and women's individual classification: 5 km - Dinar Nureyev and Aigul Yusupova from BESK, 10 km - Vladislav Chugunov from the ERSO holding and Olga Kucherenko, 20 km - Elmir Safiullin and Kristina Mirgalimova from BESK.
“When I found out about the #NaLyzhne marathon, I decided to try to participate in it. I registered, uploaded the first workouts, immediately began to follow the results of other teams, which gave me an additional incentive. Almost every day, after work, I began to go to the ski slope and walk kilometers. But I did not even expect that I would be the best at a distance of 10 km. I would like to say a huge thank you to AFK Sistema and Charitable Foundation Sistema for organizing #NaLyzhne and Galichskoye Zaozerye marathons. Such events serve as a great incentive to go in for sports!” commented Vladislav Chugunov.
“From the bottom of our hearts we congratulate the winners of the #NaLyzhne marathon! And we thank the organizers of the Galich Zaozerye race: the opportunity to hold an award ceremony as part of one of the largest regional sporting events is of particular importance to us. Each participant in our charity event is part of a large sports community: the corporate AFK Sistema and people who are passionate about skiing from all over the country. In addition, this is a clear confirmation that the marathon is over, but as long as the weather conditions allow, the participants remain on the track. We promise that there are many exciting sports projects ahead. See you at other venues!” said Alexander Torovtsev, curator of sports projects at Sistema Charitable Foundation.
