HALF MARATHON

Do you want to know how our colleagues spend their leisure time with health benefits? In the gym and at marathons! The coordinator of the Health Protection Service Gaukhar Beketayeva and the Chemist-Technologist Aiymzhan Nurmukhanova again became the participants of the sports race, but not in Atyrau, they were at the 19th Istanbul Half Marathon Türkiye Iş Bankası. On April 28, they ran a distance of 21.1 km, despite the rainy weather. The personal result of Gaukhar Beketayeva was 1 hour 55 minutes, Aiymzhan Nurmukhanova was 1 hour 58 minutes. This race gave a great emotion and helped to test themselves, say the athletes of West Dala. In total, a record number of runners participated in the competition – 10,129 people. The Istanbul Half Marathon is one of the best "Gold Label" half marathons in Europe. The racetrack took place along the coast of the Marmara Sea, and the atmosphere during the race was like a sports festival with a sea of positivity.

Separately, I would like to note that Gaukhar Beketayeva and Aiymzhan Nurmukhanova are caring Atyrau volunteers and activists of West Dala company: along with their colleagues, they took part in the flood control work.
