The marathon, organized by the initiative of the sports and social movement “Yangi Nafas”, was attended by elders, professionals, youth, schoolchildren, representatives of higher education institutions, including teachers, professors and students of Andijan State Medical Institute.
The marathon, which started in Andijan, embodies the idea of ”Save the Aral” and is planned to be held in Namangan, Fergana, Jizzakh, Sardoba, Samarkand, Navoi, Khiva and Moynak.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the marathon, which was organized by the “Yangi Nafas” Sports and Social Movement in cooperation with the Athletics Federation of Uzbekistan, the Triathlon Federation of Uzbekistan, the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan and Andijan regional administration, the deputy khokim of Andijan region O.I. Shukurov noted that the marathon is of special importance in combating the coronavirus pandemic and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
The marathon was started first for schoolchildren, then for employees of various fields and the military.
At the end of the marathon, which was attended by all participants with great enthusiasm, the winners were awarded, and the active participants were awarded “Certificates”.
The good news is that South Korean students of Andijan State Medical Institute, who are aware of the mass run in Andijan, also joined the “Save Aral” marathon by online. According to the dean of the faculty of work with foreign students Gulbahor Yakhshibaeva, our foreign students also improved their health by running a distance of 3 kilometers.
We believe that the marathon, which was held in Andijan under the motto “For a Healthy Future” and has a festive character, will be held throughout the country until April 2021 in high spirits.
