On Independence Square, for all participants of the races for different distances and fans, the instructors of three fitness centers held a warm-up, and the students of martial arts schools demonstrated their skills. It was not only a sporting event, but also a cultural event with the performance of creative teams.

The general start was given by Akim of Karaganda region Yerlan Koshanov. Each participant chose the most “liked” distance from several proposed ones: “Sputnik” – 7 km, “Dostyk” – 14 km, half-marathon “Armanga zhol” – 21 km 97.5 m, “Balapan” (for children 8-14 years old ) – 2 km.

The track “Armanga zhol-2018” received the certificate of the Association of International Marathons and Runs. Registration of the participants of the half marathon was actively held on the websites qazrun.kz and flakar.kz, as a result, the figure “exceeded” 5 000. Among the runners – not only residents of different regions of Kazakhstan, but also guests from Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus.

The main prize of the half marathon – one million tenge – among the men was won by the Belarusian professional sportsman Vladislav Pryamov, who, by the way, installed the track record – 1 hour 6 minutes. Among the women, the master of international-class marathon and half-marathon Victoria Polyudina from Kyrgyzstan became the winner.

– Effective labor activity, fruitful education and health are inextricably linked. Our students pay special attention to participating in sporting events, understanding how important physical activity is in their lives, “says Raisa Kolesnikova, teacher of the section for physical education of the KGIU. – Our students took an active part in the half marathon. Most of them ran at a distance of 7 kilometers, and Adilbek Kurakbayev chose a 14-kilometer route. Yerkebulan Sailaubekov duly ran 21 kilometers, despite the fact that the distance is decent, the load is huge, and among the rivals are professional athletes.

All the finishers were awarded commemorative medals and certificates. Participants received a great charge of vivacity and good mood.

– For me, as for a person who has not done sports for a long time, 7 kilometers were given with little difficulty. The marathon itself turned out to be a kind of hardening, after which I decided to resume sports, – says the student of the group “TOMD-17” Kirill Malov. – The spirit of rivalry did not leave me and a day after the race. Now I will prepare for the marathon, which will be held next year.

“Young people should receive knowledge corresponding to higher scientific standards,” President Nazarbaev noted at the presentation of the textbooks that took place in April this year in Astana. – Scientific knowledge is the main condition for the competitiveness of the modern nation. New textbooks are a real encyclopedia of knowledge. Now it is important not only the method of education, but also its content. In this regard, the program “Ruhani zhangyru” provides an opportunity to implement a five-year national education. In world practice, there are few examples of the implementation of such a comprehensive program. New textbooks are an exclusive humanitarian library. It will be available to all people in three formats: in the form of ordinary paper books, in electronic online versions and in the format of a video library of open lectures from the best lecturers. Our young people living abroad will also have access to it at a time when the books will be published in Latin.
