The Sportivny eco-marathon, an environmental project for young athletes, drew to a close in Tobolsk. The project had been implemented with SIBUR's support and in partnership with the Tyumen Environmental Association and the EcoTobolsk eco-education project.

The eco-marathon drew over 100 athletes aged 12 to 13, specializing in 9 sports disciplines: hockey, football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, sport aerobics, kudo, and others. Over a period nine weeks, the contestants were going through a series of practical and educational stages aimed at fostering environmentally responsible behavior. One of the project's key tangible results was collecting more than 5 tons of recyclable materials, a significant indicator of the engagement of the event’s participants and their families in the practice of waste sorting.

Alexei Sukharev, Principal of the School No. 1:
“It is important that the students see firsthand that sports, education, and environmental responsibility can be parts of one single process. Such projects help instill a responsible attitude towards the environment and teamwork skills that will serve them well in their future lives.”

The eco-marathon’s program featured eco-lessons aimed at helping build foundational knowledge about the environment, as well as an eco-quiz where the contestants could test their newly acquired skills and the ability to function as a cohesive team. There was also special focus on hands-on activities, such as the upcycling workshop. This was where the teams tried to make prototypes of coaches’ clipboards using plastic flakes, in a vivid demonstration of possibilities provided by recycling in various applied fields, including the field of sports.

Varvara Tkachuk, an eco-marathon participant:
“We had known about waste sorting and separate waste collection, but it was here that it became clear why it is really necessary. It was exciting to be able to make something useful from recycled materials on our own and work as part of a bigger team.”

Based on the outcomes of all stages of the project, it was the hockey team that emerged as the winner of the eco-marathon. The second place was taken by the young participants representing the sport of rugby, while the third place went to the chess-playing students.

The Sportivny eco-marathon served as an example of a comprehensive approach to environmental education through sport while showing how practical action and engaging children can help develop lasting eco-friendly habits.

Vyacheslav Grab, Chief Expert for Government Relations and Socio-Economic Projects at ZapSibNeftekhim:
