The point of earthly strength is Konjak! Having been here you will not be the same! Never!
In Russia there is a magical place and time - Mount Konjak, the first Saturday of July. It is here and on this day the famous and super-attractive Konzhakovsky marathon is held. I could not understand his magic for many years. Just like thousands of other people could not understand this.
Konzhakov's marathon frightens and fascinates, surprises and sometimes painfully beats, falls in love with himself and does not let himself be forgotten. Without any advertising and unwinding, the marathon gathers more and more people every year.
A little officialdom: "The mountain marathon" Konjak "is held annually near the city of Karpinsk in the Sverdlovsk region on the first Saturday of July. The unique terrain and extreme conditions of ascent to the highest point of the distance (1569 m) turned it into one of the most massive marathons of Russia.
World champions, Europe, Russia participate in the 100 km race and the 24-hour run, the winners of the super marathon "Comrades" (South Africa), mountaineers climbing Everest, Makalu, Lhozce, Jeanne, world champions in orienteering, skiing and polyathlon, and also marathon runners, skiers, biathlonists, skaters, hockey players, triathlonists, boxers, wrestlers, swimmers, mountain tourists and supporters of an active lifestyle. "
The route of the marathon is extremely "simple" - climbing stones, mud, water, roots, snow and kurumnik to the highest point of the Sverdlovsk region - Mount Konzhakovskiy Kamen (1569 m above sea level) and descending back along the same route.
At this marathon, race conditions are never the same. That heat, then cold, then water, then drought, then wind, then calm.
This year, there was a lot of water at the distance (in fact, they ran along the bottom of a shallow river) and almost complete calm on the summit! The calmness at the height was an unexpected and comfortable gift for the participants.
Another highlight of this year is unusually large snowfields. "Have a good time"!
As always, the organization was on top. Everything is thought out, reliable and clear.
Well, the most important thing in this action is people. Konzhakov's marathon as a magnet attracts good people, it charges everyone with a kind of magical and unusual in the ordinary life of the mood of goodwill, mutual assistance, respect and ... even something good.
To make it more clear - look at the nature, the sky, mountains and faces!
