\u201cI am a 2014 graduate of MNU. The marathon is a wonderful sporting tradition, a celebration of sports and charity. It also unites students and alumni of the university. I wish everyone to stay active and keep running. The best starts are always ahead,\u201d said marathon participant Yerlan Mukhamediev.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds raised during the event are traditionally directed to students and alumni of the university who are battling serious illnesses. Thanks to collective efforts, assistance had previously been provided to three MNU students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI regularly take part in marathons, and this race was simply wonderful. It is great when sporting events have a special charitable mission. The idea of sports for good deeds truly brings people together,\u201d <\/em>said Chingiz Kadyrov<\/strong>, winner of the 3 km race at the MNU marathon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marathon winners received valuable prizes from the event\u2019s partners. In addition to the sporting activities, the organizers prepared an entertainment program for runners and spectators, including a lottery with gifts and prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThe event was organized at a very high level, and everything took place in a warm, comfortable, and harmonious atmosphere. The people around were friendly, communicating and sincerely supporting one another. I do not participate in marathons very often, and the race was not easy, but thanks to the perfect weather, I was left with only positive impressions,\u201d emphasized the Ambassador of the European Union to Kazakhstan, Ale\u0161ka Simki\u0107.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MNU Marathon has become an important part of the university\u2019s culture. The event is held annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am 64 years old and an active marathon runner. I also do swimming and cycling. I am very happy to participate in the MNU charity marathon for the second time. I love running and feel even better every time. It was very exciting to run the distance together with young people,\u201d <\/em>said marathon participant Eleusiz Parnabay.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
