In the Patriot park of the Northern Fleet, the race “Heroes of the North – Polar Frontier” was launched

On August 20, the fourth race “Heroes of the North – Polar Frontier” was launched on the territory of the Patriot Park near Kildinstroy. 108 teams took part in the traditional large-scale event.

The event was organized by the Government of the Murmansk Region and the Northern Fleet. Four divisions were formed, consisting of men’s teams of law enforcement agencies and civilians.

In addition, in mixed teams, not only men, but also women challenged the track, the press service of the regional government reported.

“Every year, those who clearly demonstrate that the North is the birthplace of the brave take to the park track! Home of real heroes! Heroes who are ready not only to overcome a difficult route, but also to come to the rescue of a comrade at any time, ”the vice-governor of the region, Elena Dyagileva, addressed the northerners with a welcoming speech.

She wished the sportsmen a fighting spirit and a successful finish, and also noted the importance of the event not only for the participants, but also for the fans, especially the young guys.

“We dedicate this event to the heroes who are today in the zone of the special military operation. I will not hide the fact that a significant number of fleet troops are solving crucial tasks for our country. Our soldiers adequately represent the Northern Fleet, showing courage, steadfastness, courage and heroism,” commented Admiral Alexander Moiseev, Commander of the Northern Fleet.

This time the track was even more difficult than last year. The teams had to overcome 22 obstacles over a total distance of 5.6 km. For the first time, the route included a swimming pool.

The teams “Armata”, “Groza-2”, “Legion” and “Kudama” became the best in their divisions. Among the silver medalists are the Thunderstorm, Aviator-2, Noname and Blue Tractor teams. The teams “Hurricane”, “Cyclone”, “Street Sports” and “Kola Partisan” took bronze.

The orchestra of the Northern Fleet played for the guests of the event, a field kitchen worked, where you could have a bite of delicious porridge and drink hot tea. The northerners really liked the exhibition of military equipment and interactive areas where they made engraving on the badge and creative face painting.

The plans are to hold even more sporting events in the Murmansk region, added Elena Dyagileva and Alexander Moiseev.
