The Republican Festival “GTO Race” brought together almost 500 active residents of Karelia

On April 22, both professional athletes and lovers of an active lifestyle and running gathered on the territory of the Kurgan sports complex in Petrozavodsk. After all, the Republican Festival “GTO Race” took place there on Saturday.

Residents from different parts of Karelia decided to test their strength at the mass event: 67 teams from Petrozavodsk, Segezha, Suoyarvi, Kondopoga and the Prionezhsky region participated. Student and labor collectives, as well as teams representing physical culture and sports clubs, fought for the title of the strongest: in total, a record number of participants gathered – almost 500 people.

They had to overcome the distance, the length of which was 5 kilometers. On the way there were 16 different obstacles. Active citizens stood in a plank, wandered in a labyrinth, moved along tires, crossed a moat with water, climbed over high walls, flew over the ground on a bungee, and also carried heavy tires.

As a result, the SKA team became the best in the team standings. Among the student teams, the team “PetrSU-1” won, and among the labor teams, the team “Sports Training Center” won.

Representing our republic in the final stage of the TRP Festival, which will be held in Izhevsk, will be the silver medalist among labor collectives – the Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill team. The winners gave them this right.
