Vitaly Korolev thanked the participants of the Cross of the Nation for their commitment to a healthy lifestyle

The Governor of the Tver region Vitaly Korolev said that the Upper Volga region is among the most active participants of the All-Russian day of running “Cross of the Nation”, which brought together hundreds of thousands of sports fans from 85 regions of the country.

In 13 races at a distance from one to four kilometers participated about 2.5 thousand people from the Tver region. Vitaly Korolev noted that coming to the finish line first is not the main thing. He is convinced that everyone who went to the distance has already won, because he chose activity, unbending will and strength of spirit.

This Cross of the Nation was timed to coincide with the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The head of the region stressed that this is not an accident: sports blurs borders and brings generations closer. In the Upper Volga region, sports are paid the most serious attention, the governor of the Tver region noted.

“Our basketball club plays in the major leagues, we have built and opened a modern all-season running center, develop hockey, buy new sports equipment,” Vitaly Korolev wrote in his channel at MAX.

He thanked all participants for their perseverance and commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
