Over 500 people took part in a run to support rare animals of the Far East, which was held on the second day of the 5^th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. The event received support from the Roscongress Foundation, the Amur Tiger Centre and the Far Eastern Leopards autonomous non-profit organisation.

"This year the traditional race that unites forum participants and locals had the motto ‘Sport as a Way of Life.’ Jogging in good company and in a beautiful setting is the best way to start the day and gives you a great boost of energy to work,” said Russian Minister of Sport Pavel Kolobkov, who ran the 5 km distance.

Vladivostok Mayor Oleg Gumenyuk, Ivan Shtyl, a 2012 Olympic medallist and 17-time world champion in canoe sprint, and forum guests from Japan, India and Nigeria also took part in the run.
