14 October 2024

For the eleventh time, the Rosneft team took part in the Moscow Marathon, one of the largest running events in the country. 177 employees took to the start line to run the 42.2km marathon and 10km individual race.

Supporting mass, professional and youth sports and healthy lifestyles is one of the key areas of social work of Rosneft and its subsidiaries. The Company funds the construction of ice arenas, sports complexes and multi-purpose sports grounds in the regions of its operations. With Rosneft’s support, dozens of modern large-scale sports facilities have been opened in Russia’s regions. The Company supports projects that develop and promote physical culture and healthy lifestyles.

The Moscow Marathon traditionally attracts the largest Russian companies from various industries, as well as teams from the best amateur and semi-professional running communities. This year, a record number of over 40,000 athletes from Russia and neighbouring countries registered to take part. A 10km race was held on 12 October, with many of the Company’s employees setting personal records.

On 13 October, Rosneft athletes took off for the marathon distance - both in individual and relay races. The Rosneft relay team, made up of amateur athletes, achieved an impressive result - 5th place out of 129 teams with a time of 2:25:10 and an average pace of 3 minutes 26 seconds. The runners managed to beat last year’s result by 3 minutes.

Rosneft is a regular participant in the Moscow Marathon corporate race, demonstrating high levels of sporting achievement. The team’s results are among the top five in the history of the Moscow Marathon.

In addition, the Company’s athletes and their family members traditionally take part in the Energy of Life national corporate run every October. Stages of the competition were held last week in Moscow, Samara and Tyumen, and ended in Krasnodar on 12 October.
