STAY ACTIVE AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

“Karjala Marathon” is to take place in the north-west of Russia

Russians interest in healthy lifestyle and sport events is growing year by year. If you believe in physical power of your body more than in your car when it comes to traveling come to Russia and run for your life! “Karjala Marathon” is calimed to be one of the most colorful race in the whole North-West of Russia. The annual event brings together kids and adults from Karelia and other Russian regions and cities – Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novgorod, Archangelsk and Murmansk. Lerning Russian language in autumn 2018 is a great opportunity to see by yourself that sport and health do not have any boundaries and language barriers!

Russian “Lagom”: is 10 km just enough?

As for the details: the route (both adults) is 10 km long. Pretty harsh, isn’t it? But professional sportsmen say one should not get into panic and just choose an even pace throughout the whole  run-session.  As for the main advantage of the route  it is incredibly picturesque as it lies right by the lake Pryazhinskoe (about 60 km from the capital of Karelia). Stony lake side, tall pines and amazing views give you  extra strenght on your way and make you feel nature’s energy. But stay focused on the race, with this beauty it’s very easy to find yourself “beating around the bush”:)

Eat kalitki and get carried away by Russian tradional rhytms!

Right after the race do not leave immediately because the cultural program of the festival is definitely worth checking out. Musical and national folklore bands, cooking workshops and traditional games competitons will show Karelian history of 2, 3 and 4 generations!

Participants say: “The race was the final point of our vacation in Karelia. The organizers arranged a real national holiday on this day! We were extremely hapy to see the medals from shungite (rare mineral which can be found only in Karelia) were waiting for us at the finish point. During the race fans were entertained by creative bamds  and even Karelian Santa Claus! No one felt bored!”

“An excellent opportunity to relax, to be surprised, to gain new impressions, to visit Karelia! A stunning level of organization and excellent weather caused a storm of positive emotions from participating in the Karelian Running Festival!”
