The anniversary event will take place in Yekaterinburg on the 21st of May

The 40th May Walk will take place in Yekaterinburg on 21 May. Anyone who is interested can register for the event online. Since last year, it is also possible to pay the registration fee for children at a special price.

"Registering before the event will allow participants to start their route quicker on the day of the walk, so you do not have to do it at the start, although we keep this option available," said the organizers.

The organizing committee of the May Walk has prepared many surprises to celebrate the anniversary. One of them is the shortest route, which will be only 10 km and will pass not on the city outskirts, but around the city pond and public gardens. Participants will walk along the eastern and southern outskirts of the city and through the territory of the Russian Forestry Park, Shartashsky, Sanatorny, Nizhne-Isetsky, Uktussky forest parks and the Mayakovsky Central Park of Culture and Leisure.

The May Walk starts at 07:00 and ends at 21:00. Traditionally, during the event it is possible to pass the GTO (Ready for Labour and Defence) and join the forest planting.
