Novogrudok joined the Republican marathon on Scandinavian walking "Step to longevity"

In early October, Novogrudok joined the republican Scandinavian walking marathon “Step to Longevity”, dedicated to the Day of the Elderly. About 30 citizens of silver age took part in the event. This time, the marathon was held on the territory of the new park along Zavodskaya Street, where comfortable conditions for recreation were created. The participants were welcomed by Deputy Chairman of the Novogrudok District Executive Committee Lyudmila Moroz.

October is a month that is rightfully considered sometimes to sum up the results. And it is very logical that in October we celebrate the day of the wisest, dearest and closest people. Their experience is especially valuable to us. Retirement is not a reason to stay home. This is the time when you can and should lead an active lifestyle, said Lyudmila Moroz.

Before the start, participants were reminded of safety rules. Then fans of active lifestyle, full of energy and enthusiasm, went to the distance. At the finish, everyone was greeted with applause. The first five finishers were awarded certificates for free fitness classes. Energetic and young-hearted representatives of the older generation have once again proved that a healthy lifestyle not only prolongs years, but also unites people.
