In the capital, as part of the «Taza Kazakhstan» environmental campaign, a Nordic walking competition was organized among pensioners. This meaningful initiative was led by the Active Longevity Center of the Saryarka district together with the Directorate for Sports and Mass Events of the Astana City Akimat. The event took place in the Central Park. In the fresh morning air, more than 60 elderly residents of the Saryarka district gathered and actively participated. The participants first did a warm-up, after which they began the Nordic walking competition.
The main goal of the event was to promote a healthy lifestyle among pensioners, increase physical activity, and support active longevity. During the competition, participants demonstrated endurance and energy, showing great enthusiasm. At the end of the event, the organizers, along with the head of the social services department for the Saryarka district, Kenzhebolat Bapishev, delivered speeches encouraging participants to care for the environment. It was also noted that such positive initiatives by the older generation set a strong example for the youth.
Following the results of the competition, participants were awarded special medals on behalf of the Directorate for Sports and Mass Events. This event became not only a sporting competition but also an important platform for strengthening community engagement and unity. Such initiatives not only improve the health of pensioners but also contribute to their active involvement in public life.
