RUN FOR CHARITY IN ASTANA

If you're travelling through Kazakhstan during September, this is a great opportunity to raise money for a good cause and keep yourself fit after spending hours at the wheel! The British-Kazakh Society is organising its second charity race in Astana together with akimat of Astana.

The date is 11th September and the distance is 10kms, which is bringing them closer to their ultimate goal of establishing a full length marathon in the capital of Kazakhstan.

This year they are supporting WW2 veterans of Astana marking 65th anniversary of the great victory over Nazi Germany. There are over 450 veterans left in the city; all have various needs and challenges. They are working closely with Municipal Council of Veterans of Astana and akimat of Astana.
