10:07, April 9, 2024

The created route should pass through the campus in Novokoltsovsky

This year two of the five routes of the May Walk will pass through the new campus of the Ural Federal University located in the Novokoltsovsky district. The organizing committee of the walk invites citizens to explore the southern and eastern parts of the city together and develop their route from the main academic building of the UrFU to the new student campus.

If you want to participate in the contest, first of all, you should prepare a track of the route (using a GPS application, online maps, or drawing it with a pencil on paper) or in one of the formats: KML, KMZ, GPX. The second thing is to create a text description of the route, and optionally attach photos of interesting places or other materials.

"When designing the route, make sure that it is completely safe for participants, the movement is strictly on sidewalks, and crossing streets at crosswalks and traffic lights. All proposals will be accepted until April 29 by e-mail to mayprogulka@yandex.ru with the subject "Конкурс" (competition)", told in the organizing committee.

The expert committee of the May Walk will select the three best routes. The selection will take into account: safety, route length, scenic beauty, number of green areas, complexity, and educational value.

Finalists will receive gifts and the opportunity to participate in the May Walk for free. The author of the best route will receive a smart speaker for the house from the campaign partner and the opportunity to see their progress on the map of the walk on the day of the event.

Also, those contestants who publish a post about their route in VKontakte with the hashtags: #майскаяпрогулка2024 #идемвкампусурфу, will be able to go on the "May Walk" for free.
