The start and finish line will be placed in front of the university

The 39th May Walk will be held in Ekaterinburg on May 15. The organizers offer to choose one of three routes in the eastern vicinity of the city and walk along it. The start and finish line this year will be in one place - on the square in front of the main building of the Ural Federal University (19 Mira St.).

The traditional route of the walk is "The Shartash Circle" for 17 km. The start is planned along Malyshev street, then the road will pass by the Kamennye Palatki, Shartash Lake, through the stone quarry and Izoplit microdistrict. Participants will finish near the main building of Ural Federal University. The start time for this route is from 9:00 to 12:30.

The 33 km route also starts through Malyshev street and Kamennye Palatki, then goes from the southern side of Shartash. Participants will go through the forest park to the surroundings of Lake Maly Shartash. Along the paths of Sanatorny park the route will take participants to Universitetsky park. The start at the 33rd km is from 8:00 to 11:00.

Participants of these two routes together with the youth section of the Russian Geographical Society under the Uralsky Sledopyt magazine will be able to join the planting of the forest. The routes will be signposted to the tree planting point, and everything needed for planting will be on site.

The longest route is 50 km ("Classic"). Up to the vicinity of Lake Maly Shartash the map coincides with shorter distances, and then the direction lies through "Chapaevskaya" station and the Lechebniy microdistrict to the park of Russian Foresters and three lakes. Then the participants will go to the pond near the Ramada Hotel, through the Ptitsefabrika district and towards the construction of the Universiade Village 2023. Then the route goes through the Compressor District and Sanatorium Forest Park to the "University" Technopark. The finish section coincides with the 33km distance. Participants of this route are the first to leave - from 7:00 to 10:00.

Participants will be able to rest between the individual stages of the routes at checkpoints. Here they will make marks on their personal maps. Everyone can refill their water supplies, have a snack and take part in the activities of the partners of the May Walk. Traditionally, participants can also pass the Ready for Labor and Defense standards at the first rest point.

Registration for the walk can be done in advance at mayprogulka.ru or at the start.
