Reportedly, around 20 activists of city’s leading student teams will traverse more than 150 km of the way by May 10, visiting the villages of the Serdobsk, Kamenka and Penza areas.

“During that time, the young men and women will be organizing patriotic performances, help primary and secondary school students solve their social and educational issues. They will participate in a bicycle relay in Prigorodnoye village, as a sign of ‘relaying’ a message of healthy lifestyle and patriotism, since their bicycle marathon is dedicated to Victory Day,” the head of the regional Russian Student Teams branch Artem Kolobov told PenzaNews.

The marathon will also feature an event for its participants to help them improve their corporate-oriented skills and uplift their patriotic mood, he noted.

Moreover, the activists will participate in Victory Day related events in each village they visit, Artem Kolobov added.
