The Government of the Yaroslavl Region hosted the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the XVI International Rostec-Demino Ski Marathon. This year it will be held in the format of a three-day ski festival and will include new types of races.
Preparation for the competition has entered the final stage. Members of the organizing committee discussed issues of security, law and order, transport, medical support, and information support for the Demino marathon. At the end of the last season, it confirmed the status of the largest ski marathon in Russia and is already claiming a new attendance record.
– Demino ski marathon is a significant brand of our region. This is one of the key sporting events of the year, which attracts the attention of both participants and spectators. A record number has already been registered - more than 4.5 thousand skiers from six countries and 57 regions of Russia, - said Mikhail Evraev. - We have extensive experience in holding international competitions. We are developing infrastructure in different parts of the region, supporting talented athletes and their coaches. We will do everything necessary to make the Demino ski marathon memorable as a bright holiday of sports.
Demino ski marathon will be held from 3 to 5 March. Due to the increase in the number of days, the organizers have the opportunity to introduce additional types of races - 5 and 10 kilometers freestyle. They will be held on the first day of the festival on March 3. On March 4, the start of the “golden” 50-kilometer race will take place. Traditionally, it will become the most massive in terms of the number of participants. March 5 is the day of "classics". It will be opened by the youngest participants of the baby marathon at a distance of 1 km. The older guys will overcome 2 kilometers. Then they will be replaced by adults in the 25-kilometer "silver" race in classic style.
Winners and prize-winners in all age categories will receive additional handmade award medals. A cultural and entertainment program is being prepared for the audience.
