The capital will host the Minsk Half Marathon on 6 September. Organizers are expecting a record number of participants. Approximately 13.000 people from 24 countries have already registered. However, it's in August that slots start selling like hotcakes. Runners can choose from three distances: 5, 10, and 21 kilometers. This time, the event's slogan is "Wow City. Wow Day. Wow You." There are also "Wow Training!" Since mid-July, open city training sessions with professional athletes have been held on Saturdays at the "Sport for All" venues.
