Russia held its twelfth annual SberPrime Green Marathon across the country. The event brought together 140,000 runners and 150,000 people who came to watch. Cities from Kamchatka to Kaliningrad hosted races, and Gomel in Belarus joined the fun. The marathon raised 60 million rubles to help children without parents. These funds will support kids living in new border areas of the country.
German Gref leads Sberbank and spoke about the event's purpose. He said runners chase more than athletic goals when they participate. The bank organized special fundraising efforts for children who need assistance. Donation collection focused on helping kids in newly added territories and border regions. Sberbank promised to double whatever amount people donated.
Moscow runners started and finished their race at Vasilievsky Spusk near the Kremlin. Event organizers offered many different distance options for participants of all ages. Children could run 400, 600, or 800 meters depending on their ability. Adults chose from 4.2 kilometers, 10 kilometers, or the half-marathon distance of 21.1 kilometers. Nordic walking competitions and team races of 4.2 kilometers rounded out the offerings.
