The marathon, which attracted over 6,000 participants representing 49 regions of Russia and 9 foreign countries, was one of the many events that took place during Omsk City Day. Participants in the SIM-2025 marathon ran various distances, including a 10-kilometer run.
Unfortunately, during the 10-kilometer run, a 65-year-old participant named Alexander S. lost consciousness. Despite immediate efforts, Alexander S. passed away as a result of the incident.
