A comment

The mayor of the Angarsk city district Sergey Petrov is a veteran of the Big Mountaineering Marathon, thanks to his efforts, the race not only did not cease to exist at a difficult moment for the country, but even acquired a prestigious status:

- For us, as organizers, there is only one criterion for the success of the marathon - the number of participants. Not the speed and not the personal records of athletes - let the strongest argue for trophies - but the mass character. We have a very sporty marathon precisely because many amateurs refuse to participate because of embarrassment. What does it mean? Sportiness is determined by a coefficient of 1.5 from the winner's result: the leader of the race ran the distance in two hours, and all those who met the three hours are considered athletes. The rest are athletes. In Russia, athletes are traditionally 80% of the total number of participants, and abroad there are only 10-15%. Foreigners go along the track with their families: with backpacks, with children. For their own pleasure - some in carnival costumes, someone on refurbished old skis. They walk for 7-12 hours, finish at night in the light of headlamps, and everyone rejoices and supports them.

Therefore, I urge amateur skiers: come to BAM, try your hand, let them overtake you, but know that you are respected! Do not be ashamed to look not as fast, technical, fit as the regulars of the marathon. A real athlete will support anyone who is on the same track with him. The scenario of our marathon allows you to choose one of three distances according to your strength. You just need to go to the start and go to the finish line.

Historical reference

1970s- the history of the competition begins, when the strongest climbers of the Irkutsk region decided to test their strength in ski disciplines... To implement this idea in the Baikal taiga, 40 km from Irkutsk, in the vicinity of the Ogonki station of the East Siberian Railway, a special route 35 km long was developed. The participants themselves were engaged in the preparation of the ski track. At different times, the organizers of the competition were various individuals and organizations. The most notable of them was the "Vityaz" club of mountaineers and rock climbers.

1981 year- the organizing committee of the marathon decides to increase the competitive distance up to 50 km, and the marathon itself was named the Big Mountaineering.

1985 year- the marathon got a mournful addition in its name - in memory of Viktor Ponomarchuk, one of the strongest climbers Irkutsk region.

2007 year- The Big Mountaineering Marathon was included in the Cup ski marathons Russia - Russialoppet.
