Bashneft (a Rosneft subsidiary) came on board as an official partner of one of Bashkortostan’s major sporting events: the 11th Ufa International Marathon. With more than 10,000 participants, this was the largest marathon in the event’s history.

Athletes from 52 Russian regions and 38 other countries took part in the marathon. Professional and amateur runners covered distances ranging from two to 42.2 kilometres. Prizes were awarded to the fastest athletes, and each participant received a commemorative medal.

The team of runners from Bashneft won the corporate marathon competition. With 750 participants, Bashneft’s team of runners was the largest. The enterprise’s athletes traditionally win prizes in various age categories, ranging from 12 to 74 years old.

Bashneft’s volunteers organised quizzes with prizes, as well as sports and dance contests, for the guests. There was also a photo booth where everyone could take a souvenir photo. An entertainment programme for the younger guests was arranged.

Supporting mass and professional sports, as well as healthy lifestyles, is one of the key areas of social work for Rosneft subsidiaries. In the regions of operation, the Company builds multifunctional sports complexes, playgrounds and ice rinks, and organises mass sports events in various disciplines for children and adults. Thanks to Rosneft’s support, more than 30 sports facilities and 11 multifunctional sports and recreation complexes have opened in Bashkortostan since 2017. These include a sports and recreation complex in Blagoveshchensk, ice rinks in Oktyabrsky, Kumertau and Tuimazy, and a world-class skate park in Dyurtulye. The Spartak Stadium in Tuimazy is also among these new facilities.
