A mass skiing festival took place in Raduzhny: 400 participants kicked off a series of anniversary events.
At the start line were both experienced marathon runners and those who were skiing for the first time. The age of the participants was impressive: the youngest athlete was only 6 years old, while the most experienced participant was 77. Skiers came from Kirov, Kirovo-Chepetsk, Slobodskoy, Nolina, Belaya Kholunitsa, and other localities in the region. The organizers prepared 23 races with distances ranging from 500 meters to 30 kilometers, so that everyone could find a competition suitable for their abilities.
Honored guests of the event, including sports masters and representatives of the authorities, congratulated those present on their anniversaries. Special words of gratitude were expressed to the organizers of the competition, who have been holding this celebration annually since 2018.
The key event of the day was the announcement of the development of the sports infrastructure in the area. As noted by Mikhail Tsaryuk, head of the Technical Customer Service of AO SZ "Kirovsky CSS," the governor of Kirov region has signed an order for the implementation of an investment project to create a modern ski base in Raduzhny. Work will begin in the coming years.
"Ski races have become a good tradition, and now they will have a permanent home. It is important to create a convenient venue not only for our events, which we have been holding since 2018, but also for other sports events in the region," he emphasized.
The competitions went beyond the sports framework, turning into a true family holiday. Fans actively supported the participants on the course, and a warm atmosphere awaited them at the finish: there was bright musical accompaniment, guests were treated to hot meals, and a children's entertainment program with animators was organized. Separately, employees of the company participated in the race, making it part of the corporate culture.
Winners in each race received well-deserved awards and valuable prizes.
Let us remind you that "Kirovsky CSS" will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026. Ski races became the first event in a series of festive activities for the anniversary year. The first races for the company's prizes took place in 2018, and since 2022 they have been officially included in the calendar plan of physical culture events in Kirov region. The organizers thank all participants and guests for the celebration and promise to delight residents with new bright events.
