Tambov rescuers set the pace of the “National Cross – 2026”

More than two thousand residents of the Tambov region were united by the annual All-Russian Running Day “Cross of the Nation – 2026”. The central platform of the large-scale sports festival was again the ski stadium of the Druzhba Park, which became the epicenter of health, speed and excellent mood.

In the vanguard of the race were traditionally made by employees of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Tambov region and activists of the Youth Council of the department. Even before the start, rescuers set a high bar for the rest of the participants: as a warm-up, they took part in pull-up competitions on the bar and other activities.

On treadmills, emergency officials confirmed that excellent physical fitness is a professional standard for them. They challenged themselves and showed up at the most difficult and long distances - 3 and 5 kilometers, confidently overcoming them with high results. For children and teenagers, the organizers prepared a dynamic track with a length of 1.5 kilometers, where young athletes were able to show character and will to win.

The sports festival ended with a solemn award ceremony. The leaders of the races received deserved cups, medals and diplomas.
