The creator and ideological inspiration of the Race – Alexander Legkov winner of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games:
— In 2015, I decided to organize the first Legkov race and invited my friends to participate, so I didn’t even imagine what would come of it. And very soon the 10th Anniversary Race will take place. The project is growing and gaining momentum, more and more people are joining us and I am very happy about it! After all, the Race is about each of us, it is about traditions, character, pride in one’s country and its achievements, and not just sporting ones.
What’s special?
