The National Aquathlon Championship is being held today at the Rowing Base in Nikolovo.

He welcomed participants, coaches and the audience, emphasizing the Municipality's commitment to the development of children's and youth and mass sports.

"Aquathlon is a discipline that requires physical training and endurance, courage, perseverance and confidence. Every participation in such a competition is a victory over fatigue, over doubts and over one's own limitations. Thank you to the organizers, coaches, judges, volunteers and everyone who contributed to this event taking place. Your work and efforts are an example of how sport inspires people to be more active and confident," said the Deputy Mayor and wished success to the participants.

He presented Rachev with an honorary plaque on behalf of the association as a sign of gratitude to the Municipality of Ruse for the overall cooperation and support provided over the years.

Over 160 representatives of 14 clubs from all over the country are competing in the race, which includes running-swimming-running. They are divided into six age groups - from the youngest in the "Benjamin" category to men, women and veterans (Masters 40+).

The organizers have prepared prizes, surprises and activities for both the participants and the audience. The final of the championship will be held with the official award ceremony at 2 p.m., when the winners will receive medals and special competition jerseys.
