On October 17, the capital will host the sports-tactical game “City of Heroes” — a relay-competition combining key military-applied skills. Teams from patriotic clubs of universities and secondary specialized educational institutions (SSUZ) in the capital can participate. The event will be organized by the patriotic club “City of Heroes Moscow” of the project “Youth of Moscow“.
“All Moscow residents aged 16 to 35, as well as members of patriotic clubs from universities and secondary vocational schools, are invited to participate. Registration is open on the portal
“Youth of Moscow” until October 12. Each team is registered by the captain. About 100 people are expected to participate in the event,” noted Margarita Savinkina, head of the “Youth of Moscow” project.
The initiator of the game was Ivan Bondyukov, a combat veteran, participant in the special military operation (SMO), and director of the military-patriotic education center “Vershina.” The mentors and instructors of the teams will be members of the patriotic club “City of Heroes Moscow.” Judges will be SMO participants and graduates of the “Vershina” Center — current teachers of the subject “Basics of Safety and Homeland Protection” in schools and colleges. Participation requires a medical certificate permitting physical activity. Players must have health group one or two.
Competition format
The competition will take place in a relay format. Nine teams of six people each will participate in the game. One participant from each team will go out on the course — three people will compete in each race. First, all players will go through a general practical block, and then each will head to their checkpoint, where they will perform an individual task — ranging from working with equipment and providing first aid to overcoming an obstacle course. After completing the task, the participant will return to the start and pass the baton to the next player.
After completing all stages, the team as a whole will proceed to the final test—a comprehensive task involving first aid and transportation of the injured. The prize winners will be awarded trophies and medals.
