What makes a human run? Why is he doing this? Maybe running helps him to stay alone with himself and think about problems, and maybe, on the contrary, run and do not think about anything? Maybe he wants to run away from his problems? Or maybe it's just a primitive instinct of a hunter and self-preservation?
In any case, it is good for health. So we're running. And, in an organized way. On Sunday more than 10 thousand people took part in the Kharkov marathon, representatives of 25 countries - Germany, Poland, Japan, China, Kenya, Australia, USA, etc.
Runners and professionals ran a distance of 4.2 km, 10 km, 42 km. The annual Kharkov International Marathon is included in the Book of Records of Ukraine as the most massive marathon in terms of the number of registered participants. The route through which the marathon passes is laid along the central streets of Kharkov and covers the main sights of the city.
The record set at the longest distance Kenyan runner Serem Benjamin Kiprop. He ran 42 km in 2 hours 18 minutes and 13 seconds, beating the previous marathon record - 2 hours 23 minutes 1 second.
I think, in this case, running is a way of uniting people, of communicating, of sharing their experience and knowledge!
