Why do skiers from all over Russia, from other countries, come to Kamchatka every April to run a 60-kilometer distance here? What is the secret of the Avachinsky marathon? To find out the answer, you just need to come to the start of this race at least once. Then you will see that she has not even one, but several components of success.

Ingredient One: Historical

Once upon a time, more than 20 years ago, the Avachinsky Marathon was not an all-Russian and even more so international. It was just a competition between the strongest skiers of Kamchatka - the marathon distance obliged the participants to be prepared, and therefore only those who had a sports category were allowed to the race. The main ideological inspirer of the marathon was Vasily Kochkin, an honorary master of sports, a completely extraordinary person and devoted to skiing. The Avachinsky marathon started in 1984, but, unfortunately, lived only 3 years: in 1987, it was forgotten for almost 10 years.

The world-famous ski race returned to life in 1994, when it fell into the caring hands of ski and biathlon veterans from the Avachinskaya Lyzhnya club, headed by Alexander Miroshnichenko. Then it was decided: from now on, not only sportsmen-ranked athletes will take part in the competition, but also everyone who wishes. And there were more and more of them every year, guests from other regions of the country and different countries began to come to the marathon. And if in 1994 only 16 skiers took part in the marathon, then in the last few years there are already about 500 of them annually.

“This year we have already held the 23rd marathon,” says Alexander Miroshnichenko, chairman of the Avachinskaya Lyzhnya ski club in Kamchatka. - Over the years, our race has made good friends who come to us every year. For marathon participants, the most important thing is always a prepared track. And the weather, our April roads are not the most even, some household amenities - all this fades into the background. Therefore, we always try to do our best for our participants - we prepare the track according to the first class. It's good that the promised snow fell a little the day before.

Ingredient two: caring

Perhaps this is the main ingredient: have you ever tried to meet, place, organize and feed fifty people? And also to prepare the ski track in time, when it is raining or the Kamchatka spring snowstorm has cleared the day before? Believe me, it is very, very difficult, but the Avachinskaya Lyzhnya club succeeds in it, and it has been doing it for over 20 years.

- Now the Avachinsky marathon is one of the five best marathons in the country, for 10 years it has been on the calendar of the International Ski Federation, and is also one of the stages of the Russian Super Cup in ski marathons "Grand Prix Russialoppet", - says Georgy Kadykov, President of Russialoppet, vice -President of the Federation of Cross-Country Skiing of the Russian Federation. - This is not the first time I have come to the start here myself, and I see how attentive the organizers are to all participants without exception. It's really worth a lot. I always cite the Avachinsky marathon as an example to other organizers of Russian races: no one else is so scrupulous about the preparation of their tracks. Nowhere else is there such a quantity of equipment, such a width of the track - these highways, as I call them, attract athletes from all over the world here.

I travel around the country to marathons and always take something new from everyone. And now, at several marathons, the production of special bottles for nutrition of athletes has already been established. Few people know that they were first used at the Avacha marathon by the wives of skiers who bought yogurt bottles and served them on the track to their husbands, because it is much more convenient than breaking plastic cups. Now such food bottles are produced for some marathons in whole series production. And they came up with it here, in Kamchatka.

Ingredient three: stellar

This year, the Avachinsky marathon, unfortunately, lacked star participants: the main teams of the country's national cross-country skiing and biathlon teams did not come to us for the closing of the season, whose athletes adorned the marathon near Avachi a lot. But skiers arrived from Pskov, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Bryansk, Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, Amur, Leningrad and Moscow Regions, Yakutia, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and other regions of the country, as well as athletes from Italy and Finland - a total of 462 participants. In addition, this year honorable guests arrived at the Avachinsky marathon: the technical delegate of the International Ski Federation Enzo Makor and the secretary general of the Worldloppet marathon series Angelo Corradini.

- For several years I have dreamed of coming to Kamchatka, and now it happened! - Angelo Corradini admitted. - I am grateful to Alexander Miroshnichenko and Georgy Kadykov for inviting me here. I saw your beautiful nature, excellent tracks and a high-class stadium at the biathlon complex - he pleasantly surprised me. Currently, according to Worldloppet rules, only one marathon per country can enter the world series. It seems to me that this is wrong. I will be speaking at the convention with a proposal to expand our series so that more races and people can join the elite global family of marathons.

Now, from Russia, the Demino Marathon is included in Worldloppet, which gathers several thousand people annually. Of course, it is still difficult for us to compete with events of this scale, but the organizers of the Avachinsky marathon and the leaders of the Russialoppet grand prix are doing everything to increase the number of participants in Kamchatka.

- I see two solutions. The first is to organize charter flights for athletes with the participation of the leadership of the Russian series of marathons, - says Alexander Miroshnichenko. - The second option is to agree with the airlines so that according to the marathon runner's passport, which is issued by both Russialoppet and Worldloppet, the marathon participants get discounts on tickets. This would make life easier for the athletes themselves, who are fighting for the Super Cup and have to run as many marathons of the series as possible, and for us, as the organizers of the Avacha Marathon, we will know that everyone who wants to can get to us.

But this year, the fans saw on the track already loved over the years skiers - Novosibirsk Alexei Chernousov, a native of Kamchatka, who plays for Yekaterinburg and Khabarovsk Autonomous Okrug, Sergey Turyshev, Khabarovsk resident Dmitry Derbin, Milkovo biathlete, world champion among juniors 2016 Igor Malinovsky and, of course Kamchatka skier Konstantin Ignatiev. And two hundred more first-class marathon runners. As a result of a two-hour wait in the cold wind, the fans were rewarded with an exciting final showdown between Chernousov and Turyshev: only the photo finish could determine the winner. It turned out to be Sergey Turyshev.

- I want to immediately apologize to Alexei for the fact that I spent almost the entire distance behind him: it is always difficult to lead, but Lech is a cool racer, so it was not at all easy for me to snatch the victory from him, - the winner of the Avachinsky Marathon - 2016 noted after the finish - I always come to Kamchatka with joy: my parents live in Vilyuchinsk. So for me this is, one might say, a home marathon, and houses and walls help. The season turned out to be difficult for me, but fortunately, I had enough strength for such a beautiful end.

And we would like to remind you that tomorrow we will sum up and award the winners of the Vologda Marathon Cup. 82 people, along with guests, have registered for participation, some of whom still need to take the last step in the form of payment of a fee.

“This time I decided not to give my skis to anyone - finances were running out. I had to solve problems on a global scale, since I have only -8-20 of the powders with me, but it's -2 on the street, and it will be released after the first lap!

Paraffins are sometimes rolled, but more in the cold than to zero, this is a completely different ski job, and a different league. But there is nothing to do. Twice the day before I tried to roll back the paraffins. In the morning it's cold, the skis are stuck in the fields where the snow is very cold, in the evening I had to go skating again, I made + 1-4 shf swix better, but still not that, I added a start sfr 99 tablet under the cork. We rolled back, on this the dances with a tambourine were over, and there were no more options.

In the evening he began to conjure. Secondary wash, base lf start -7-12, on top - a tablet of 99 rubbed, melted, without removing + 1-4 shf, removed everything, once again a tablet. Rubbed, melted, cooled, added more, rubbed, melted, raised with a brush, re-melted, cleaned everything and polished. So two pairs of skis were made - for myself and for a friend, he ran on my second pair of fisher (cold structure), I on warmer ones, they are softer and more suitable for me!

They went to bed closer to midnight, and I must say that all my attempts to fall asleep did not give any success, I fell asleep at about 3.15 (in Moscow it is 19.00), and I had to get up after 4 hours.

With difficulty I managed to get up in the morning, I had no desire to run, I wanted everything to end as soon as possible and go home to rest. Gradually, with the help of breakfast and strong coffee, I began to come to my senses.

Collected things, exit.

We arrived at the stadium by public transport, where most of the people were skiers. They did not find the locker room right away, changed clothes, threw the sports food into the bag and went to the start. I took an isotonic bottle from Powerup with me about 600 grams in a bottle and 4 gels from the same company, which seems to be a bit too much, but I decided to play it safe just in case, the marathon is not known to me, how things are with nutrition is also unknown!

Places in the pocket were occupied chaotically, stood in a 2 row in front, on the other side of the ribbon, the elite.

Let's start. After about 2-3 km, I began to realize that I sort of guessed it with skis. We drive about the same from the slopes, the question is: how long will it be? Of course, powder was needed, but did, as they say, what it was! He began to drink slowly - for the first time 5 km, about the same place he overtook Olga Rocheva and went to catch up with the first steam locomotive, he was very close, it cost me some effort. I caught up, drove at the end, about 20 people were driving in total, and the pursuers lagged behind farther and farther behind.

We leave for the fields. The snow is completely different, the skis are so dull, plus the wind. I make more and more efforts not to let go of the locomotive, from gentle slopes I begin to catch small gaps, then pick up again.

Finally, at 12 km, I decide to let the people go, already according to the heart rate monitor, then I saw that this was the moment when the heart rate was maximum - 181 beats. It was approximately on the plain, perhaps a little on the rise, I was driving alone, after a while I noticed the people in front began to fall off, I caught up with one of these, I got up in the back and started working as a pair. It turned out to be Alexey Brovin from Murmansk. The first 10-12 km I didn’t even push forward, I tried to come to my senses, and it was not easy. The first gel went 15 km by the way, after that it became noticeably easier, the food works! About 25 km I decided to go forward to help, but I said that my skis were going much worse, I tried to work on the plain and uphill, and on the descent Alexey helped - he pushed me by the stick, as he rolled me.

Approximately every 5 km I tried to drink from a flask, plus I managed to throw in fruit drinks and isotonic drinks several times at food points, I missed some simply because there was already too much! The second gel was used for 30 km.

We drove all the same together, from behind - far away, someone's back loomed in front, they were slowly getting there. In another attempt to drink from a flask for 35 km, I dropped it, tried to catch it - it did not work! I had to slow down sharply and take a couple of steps back, Alexey noticed this thing and also slowed down a little, for which many thanks to him!

On the next shift, I stepped forward, did a good job, caught up with another one, bypassed. My partner went to work his shift in a small climb, it was already very hard for me. I was about 47 km away, and I let Alexei go, drove quieter, behind now those who were overtaken, and those in front are very far away.

50 km - exit to the stadium. The fourth gel went into action, on a big long climb I try not to give up, but to go with full strength, although there is no one in front or behind, the goal is to lose as little as possible. Well, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself, you have to work!

Somewhere I walked stronger, somewhere I gave a weakness, and I reached the finish line. Further - a rollout to the stadium and a tricky finish. The last little climb. I gathered my strength into a fist and went under each step, the finish was two times, the first time I made a dash, that's all - I crossed the line, I stopped, and they shouted to me: another 100 meters, then 180 degrees and back 100 meters, I had to work them out too!

A few words about the track and organization. The marathon is very good, but there are no complaints about the organization at all: food, changing rooms, start wide, finish - 3 lanes, very wide throughout the whole part of the circle, there are always about 6-8 meters, the ride is very comfortable! From the start, no one aches, everything is calm, there are enough food points! So, at one of the points there was a woman and everyone who opened their mouths offered to put sauerkraut there on the move!)) There were drinks: tea, fruit drink, isotonic, everything warm until the last km and very tasty!

After the finish - a medal plus food, without leaving the checkout, a small snack, the main lunch was after, according to coupons a little later. We were fed: pilaf, tea + sandwiches.

My friend Pavel Zakharov reached 139 in the final protocol, I am a little better - 16 in the absolute, time 2.46.11 at 60 km. Won Raoul to win this season's Super Bowl. The loss to the leader was just under 12 minutes.

Weather at the start of -2, at the end of +2, possibly more warm sun! Track: snow is different - from crumbs to loose, the second circle is also + porridge in the sun, but not much! In total, 239 people finished at a distance of 60 km.

In the evening there was a rewarding ceremony in the local recreation center "Seroglazka", we barely found it at all, we did not take a taxi, the public one does not go, walked 7 km on foot, cut it off. As a result, it was 1.30 in time)) But the main part, the banquet, we still did not miss. Soulful conversations with a light snack, for whom juice, mineral water, wine or stronger - all on request! The 16/17 season ended with such a sincere marathon. The result, in principle, is not bad, we will continue to work!

A Brief History of the Avachinsky Marathon!

For the first time, the Avachinsky Marafo "was held in 1984 at the initiative of the honorary master of sports V. A. Kochkin, but it was destined to exist until 1987.

In 1994 in Kamchatka on the initiative of veteran athletes of skiing and biathlon a public organization Kamchatka ski club "Avachinskaya lizhnya" was created, which was the organizer of the resumption of the Avachinsky marathon. Which was written into the club's charter.

The aim of this competition is to attract all comers - ordinary ski lovers, who regularly cover their kilometers on the "Health Track" on weekends.

The marathon route runs in picturesque places at the foot of the active volcano Avachinskaya Sopka (height 2740 meters). By the way, the name of the marathon comes from the name of this volcano.

Since 1996, the stars of Russian and world skiing and biathlon have taken part in the Avachinsky marathon - A. Prokurorov, L. Lazutina, O. Danilova, N. Gavrylyuk, P. Rostovtsev, S. Chepikov, V. Vilisov and many others.

In 2002, the Avachinsky Marathon became one of the 10 best marathons in Russia and was included in the calendar of the All-Russian FIS competitions as one of the three stages of the Asia-Pacific Marathon Cup. This competition consists of three marathon races held in different countries of the Asia-Pacific region: in China - Vasaloppet China (Changchun), in Japan - Asahikava Vasa (Asahikava) and Russia - Avacha Ski Marathon (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski).

The marathon also has its own champions. The only and constant participant in all 17 marathons (including those in 1984–1987) is the Kamchatka skier Stanislav Afanasyev. Olga Zavyalova and the master of sports Stepan Simak, twice Alexei Prokurorov, Nikolai Igumnov, Vladimir Vilisov managed to win the marathon three times. The oldest participants who have covered the entire distance are Vladimir Golovchenko and Lilia Vinogradova, born in 1934, and the youngest participant who finished the competition is Stepan Lesik.

As mentioned above, the Avachinsky marathon is held in three nominations, the marathon itself is a distance of 60 km, consisting of two circles (30 km each), each circle of two loops (20 km + 10 km), the Small Avachinsky marathon is a distance of 30 km (one circle) and Marathon-junior - for boys and girls aged 12-16, distance 30 km (one circle).

In general, the date of the Avachinsky marathon - the third Sunday in April - is very successful, there is practically no snow in the ski centers of Russia, and in Kamchatka the snow cover reaches up to one and a half meters. The air temperature at this time ranges from –1 ºC to + 5º, which gives ski lovers the opportunity to sunbathe, and some of the marathon participants took the start instead of a jumpsuit in bathing suits. This factor is also taken into account by the organizers in order to attract fans (in 2006 there were about 1000 of them), a cultural and entertainment program is held for them in the starting town, shops are open, barbecues are fried.

The only organizer of the Avachinsky marathon since the day of its resumption is the Kamchatka ski club "Avachinsky Lyzhnya". Recently, KLK has grown organizationally, gained prestige both in sports circles and among ski enthusiasts. Every year, the club organizes up to 10 different mass sports events, including children's starts, where a grand specially approved by the club is awarded to the best young skier of the year.

The club has developed stable relationships with sponsors who regularly and sympathetically treat our problems. Among the sponsors I would like to highlight the Dalkamneft company, the fishing collective farm “Narody Severa”, the fishing companies “Style” and “Royal State”, OJSC “Kamchatkomagroprombank”, these enterprises were at the origins of the Avachinsky marathon, and the club thanks them for this.

At the same time, since 2005, the fishing collective farm named after V.I. VI Lenin, LLC Evening Star Kam, LLC Yug-Nefteprodukt Krasnodar, LLC Kamterra. Of course, the prestige of the marathon is determined by the judging of the competition and the prize fund. For four years in a row, the club council has appointed one of the most authoritative judges in winter sports in the Kamchatka region, a judge of the republican category Viktor Georgievich Marikov, who has been refereeing competitions of republican and zonal scales.

The winners and prize-winners of the marathon are determined among men and women, boys and girls. In addition, more than a dozen incentive prizes have been drawn since 2005. The total prize fund of the marathon since 2008 is more than 650 thousand rubles. In addition, each of the participants who reached the finish line receives a special diploma, a poster-calendar of the Avacha Marathon. RUSSIALOPPET passports have been issued since 2002. At the same time, the starting fee was determined by the organizing committee in the amount of 300 rubles - for the participants of the main marathon, 150 rubles - for the participants of the Small Avachinsky marathon and 100 rubles - for the participants of the Junior Marathon.

Avachinsky marathon route 2018

The route of the marathon is a 30 km long circle of two loops (the big one is 21 km and the small one is 9 km). Marathon runners need to overcome 2 such laps. At this start, you need to correctly distribute your forces. The difficulty of the distance is that the first loop (21 km) runs along a tourist trail with flat sections and a small set of altitudes, and the second 9-kilometer loop runs along a biathlon track, which is famous for its steep ascents and descents. The heaviest of them is called "Cool Pepper". Therefore, it must be remembered that the last kilometers of the competition will be the most difficult. This marathon will be remembered not only for its relief, but also for the unique beauty of Kamchatka - a stunning view of the mountains opens here, including the active volcano Avachinskaya Sopka, 2740 meters high.
