We're all different. Regardless of the attitude towards me, the team, and the start in general, I consider the people who come to our event to be relatives.

This is a happy burden of responsibility, a little more than gathering or training with friends.

With the team under the brand Caucasus Ultra Trail every year we try to offer a complex project with a beautiful distance. The project has a certain idea, in a comfortable KV, in a simple entrance threshold and in new locations.

But there is always a line in this story that you can miss and make a mistake.

Mistakes in human life exceed broken dreams, broken relationships, loss of reputation, financial drawdowns and other stories. A certain professional deformity allows me to feel the proximity of this trait and stop in time.

This year.

Glad everyone's back from the track.

I am grateful to the team that stood in the raging elements and was ready for the onslaught of the race.

Although I do not encourage the decision of Artem and Andrei to go further after the cancellation of the event, I urge them not to condemn them.

First, these are the people we applauded at the pre-launch briefing, and only 20 people in Russia have their experience.

Secondly, they are our regular members, which means our family. I can't take my own offense. Removed numbers, claims that we are "out of competition" etc. are not working. Our track is coming, our transfer means our race.

We're racing in 2025. All contributions for slots this year - take into account when registering for next year.

I would like to implement the northern lands. It hurts a beautiful track.

So far, I've said everything I have. Posts leave without signature and should return in the autumn.
