The 43rd Wizz Air Sofia Marathon kicked off with a 5 km FIB Mass Run on Saturday. The race was flagged off by Youth and Sports Minister Encho Keryazov, who also took part in the run.
“I am glad to see so many people of different ages at the starting line. I would like to congratulate the parents who have come with their children, because we may talk about how important health is, but unless we set an example, it does not do much good,” the Minister said in his address.
Participating were also Sofia Mayor Vassil Terziev, Tourism Minister Ilin Dimitrov, Culture Minister Eftim Miloshev, Environment and Water Minister Rositsa Karamfilova, and Health Minister Katya Ivkova, among others.
Ivan Andreev won the 5 km race in 15:54 minutes. In the women’s category, the winner was Militsa Mircheva, the marathon’s race director, with a time of 17:02 minutes.
