On Sunday, April 14, the athletics marathon “Gagarin – Kaluga” started, reports the Ministry of Sports of the Kaluga Region.
This race was planned for the day of the first human flight into space and for the 90th anniversary of the birth of Yuri Gagarin. Over two days, marathon participants ran as much as 190 kilometers, following a route through cities and towns such as Gagarin, Klushino, Borodino, Mozhaisk, Vereya, Medyn, Kondrovo and, finally, Kaluga.
If the starting point was on Yuri Gagarin Square in the city of the same name in the Smolensk region, where the race was started by Hero of Russia, pilot-cosmonaut Anna Kikina, then the finish line at the monument to the famous cosmonaut in Kaluga was the place where the runners were met by the region’s Minister of Sports Oleg Serdyukov.
