Olympic Running Day

On June 18, 2011 the Olympic Running Day took place in Kharkov.

We also made our small contribution to arranging this holiday.

 The holiday – the Olympic Running Day – took place at Dynamo stadium.

Many people including sports stars known far beyond our country attended the holiday.

So two-time champion Yuri Mikhailovich Poyarkov said in his welcome speech to participants: “In this era of nanotechnologies and computers one should still remember sports and healthy lifestyle…”

Several various-distance runs were arranged.

The runs were participated by adults and kids, professional athletes and amateurs as well as persons with special needs.

As one of participants said: “Even, if you have trouble running, the major thing is moving towards goal rather than being at a stop”

Probably, everybody likes celebrating holidays and how should the Running Day be celebrated? I think that the best way to celebrate a running day is to run!

This holiday – the Olympic Running Day – has proven that healthy lifestyle is not only useful but also funny!
