“These large-scale competitions have long since grown into a major significant event of the winter season of sports activities as well as a true sports festival for enthusiasts of different ages and generations, teams of friends, and even entire families.
I am confident that thist event will as always be held to a high organisational and creative standard, serving to promote values of a healthy, active lifestyle and, obviously, bringing exciting positive emotions and creating memorable experience for both participants and fans.”
