Dear friends!
Welcome to the 8 th Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon!
Today is a wonderful day that gathered and united all of us. More than 10 thousand
runners from Kyiv and all Ukraine, as well as from other countries of the world came
to become part of the Kyiv half marathon.
Today we celebrate 8 years of our history, history not only of the formation
of the event, but also the history of our friendship, our relationships. Many of us got
acquainted with the help of sports, in particular running, and this became the basis
of building something new in our lives.
Thank you for continuing, and maybe someone just started the way of an amateur
runner. We thank everyone who is connected to this day.
Friends, I wish all the festive mood, a successful start and a great time in Kyiv.
Run with love, stop doing it alone.
Kind regards,
Dmytro Chernitsky
Run Ukraine General Manager

NOVA POSHTA
KYIV HALF MARATHON
The Kyiv half marathon is the major running
event of Ukraine, which unites people who
are in love with life, sport and a healthy
lifestyle. The event which will take place
on April 22, 2018, will be the eighth.
During this time, Nova Posta Kyiv Half
Marathon has become the leader of running
competitions in our country and was
the first among them to receive prestigious
international status — IAAF Bronze Label.
Eight years ago, in 2010, everything started
with a simple idea — to organize a health
and sports event in the capital. Since then
every year the event develops, becomes
larger and more interesting. Last year
the running village in Kontraktova Square was
visited by at least 25,000 guests on the day
of the race, and this year it is expected
to have only about 10,000 runners
which will be the record number.
In 2015, the Kyiv international half marathon
became a full member of the International
Marathon Association (AIMS), last year
the event received a Bronze Label,
and now Nova Posta Kyiv Half Marathon
2018 will need to confirm its high status.
For the fourth time Nova Poshta Kyiv Half
Marathon attracts charitable foundations
to co-operation. In 2014, thanks to a charitable
race it was possible to raise UAH 150,000,
and in 2017 — UAH 856,424.
The running culture of Kyiv and Ukraine
is developing, the standards of events
are increasing, the participants
of the events become more demanding,
and it stimulates to make running events
better, because the Kyiv half marathon
is not just a running fest. It is a lifestyle.
This year Nova Posta Kyiv Half
Marathon 2018 received the IAAF
Bronze Label. This status is awarded
once a year and is strictly controlled
by the IAAF. On April 22 we will pass
an important exam, because in order
to confirm the status we need to:
Organize participation in the event
of 10 international elite
athletes from 4 countries;
• Organize doping control for athletes;
• To block traffic of any transport
along the route and to organize
presence of an official
international route evaluator;
• To control the safety of asphalt covering
to prevent injuries among participants;
• In addition, a number of other
important requirements will be fulfilled,
including television broadcasting,
organization of hydration zones,
medical control, and other.

UNDER ARMOUR
ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЄ ВЛАСНУ ІННОВАЦІЙНУ ТЕХНОЛОГІЮ
АМОРТИЗАЦІЇ ВЗУТТЯ ПІД НАЗВОЮ HOVR
UA HOVR — це амортизаційна платформа, розроблена для забезпечення
ідеально збалансованого поєднання амортизації і повернення енергії —
все і без компромісів.
Піноматеріал підошви HOVR створений у співпраці з компанією Dow
Chemical — лідерами в розробці і виробництві полімерів, і запатентована
Under Armour. Унікальна комбінація властивостей дозволила об’єднати
в собі м’якість і неймовірну амортизацію з абсорбцією ударів при кожному
приземленні. HOVR є вже третьою технологічною платформою Under Armour,
на додаток до Micro G і Charged Cushioning.
Передова амортизаційна система покриває потреби бігунів у взутті, яке
не просто надає підтримку стопи, але і забезпечує повернення доданої
енергії, а також абсорбцію ударних впливів.
Іншим ключовим компонентом технології HOVR є “Енергетична вставка”
(англ. Energy Web), яка складається з пеноматериала UA HOVR® FOAM
і компресійної сітки, що утримує його форму. Energy Web Створена для
повернення енергії, яку ви зазвичай втрачаєте при приземленні. Таке
поєднання властивостей допомагає вам відчувати себе краще і краще
тренуватися — з технологією HOVR взуття не просто абсорбує ударні впливи,
але і перетворює їх в відскік під час наступного поштовху. Така “рекуперація
енергії” надає великі можливості для руху вперед.
Платформа HOVR представлена в двох моделях: HOVR Phantom і HOVR
Sonic, доступних для придбання виключно у магазинах Under Armour:
Київ, ТРЦ SkyMall; Харків ТРЦ Караван. Більше бігових моделей кросівок
є в інтернет магазині: www.md-fashion.com.ua/underarmour

DISTANCES FOR ADULTS
2 KILOMETERS — FOR BEGINNERS
For untrained runners a minimum
course of 2 km is available. This year,
by the way, 2 kilometers is a symbolic run.
Each participant of the charity race will
change for the best not only his/her life, but
also the lives of thousands of Ukrainians.
Our goal is to equip a rehabilitation
department of the Institute of Traumatology
and Orthopedics of the National Academy
of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. Only in 2017
3959 Ukrainians turned to the institution for
help, but there was no unified rehabilitation
center and center after injuries and operations.
5 KM — THE FIRST STEP
TO GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS
This favorite discipline of beginners
is a great opportunity to test your body.
After all, the combination of speed
and endurance requires from runners
a special tactical approach.
21 KM — NOVA POSHTA
KYIV HALF MARATHON
It is not easy to run 21 km, but only
imagine how you will then be proud
of yourself and what kind of satisfaction
you will receive. For those who feel
that running such a distance is not
feasible so far, the rules of the marathon
suggest to arrange it for four or two
persons — relay races, in which four
or two persons divide 21 km among
themselves: three for 5 km and one
for 6 km run, or 10 km + 11 km.
In Kyiv, and throughout Ukraine, there
is no other better thought through, largescale
and unforgettable running event
than the Kyiv international half marathon.
Why not become part of it?

by car, need to leave their vehicle a little
further to avoid inconveniences.

on the Kurenivska-Chervonoarmiyska
line between the stations of “Taras
Shevchenko” and “Poshtova Ploshcha”.

leave things in the luggage room, find
a starting corridor and have a warm-up.

PACEMAKERS
During a half marathon for any athlete
it is important to feel moral and physical
support that will help him/her as easily
as possible to overcome twenty kilometers.
Such support of our participants is provided
by a large group of professionals running
in the peloton — so-called pacemakers.
The pacemaker is an experienced runner
that goes on a course along with all
the runners, but his/her main task is not
to win, but to maintain an optimal running
pace for different groups of athletes —
a rhythm that will help the participants
to withstand this heavy route without sacrifice.
The Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon 2018
pacemakers will overcome the half marathon
in: 1:29, 1:39, 1:49 and 1:59 hours. For
each time 2 pacemakers will be assigned.
They are easy to recognize and visible
from afar — these runners are notable for
a particularly vivid sports uniform, and can
also have a special flag with them.

CHILDREN RACES
Encouraging children to run is one
of the main tasks of the Nova Poshta Kyiv
Half Marathon 2018. After all, the selfrealization
of a child through running
is one of the keys to the development
of a healthy and successful personality
from school or even the preschool age.
And successful people in future will
be building a successful country.
This time, children races will be held at three
courses. Young runners of 9–13 years old
will be able to test themselves in an already
quite adult and serious race at 1000 m,
and it is possible for some of the youh
today’s race will be the first important
success in the sports career. For children
of 7–8 years old we have a course
of 500 m — competitions at such a course
in the circle of like-minded peers is the perfect
way to encourage your child to actively
engage in sports. Finally, the youngest
of our members, children from 1 to 6 years
old, will make their first steps in running
on a 100-meter start — and here parents
can help every little athlete. Each young
athlete will receive his/her own bib number.

TIPS FOR RUNNERS:
• Do not wear new sneakers on races,
it is recommended to run the course
in what you are used to training;
• Avoid rigid stitches to avoid
rubbing the body;
• During the half marathon,
it is recommended to drink water at each
hydration point, at least a few sips;
• It is necessary to run from the very
beginning to your own, predetermined
pace and not to chase the faster runners;
• On the eve of the start, eat your usual
food — you do not need to taste new
dishes and ingredients. It is worthwhile
to exclude completely fried, smoked,
spicy foods, as well as high-fiber foods;
• Do not forget about the headdress
with good reflection and the collected
hair. The effect of direct sunlight leads
to enlargement and increased blood
flow to the head, and as a result —
it can lead to heat or sun strokes;
• After the finish it is desirable to eat fruits
and have a few more sips of water;
• After the race, be sure to change
the wet racing clothing to the dry set;
• The most important thing
is to listen to your own body;
• Do not hesitate to stop after the finish,
we recommend a wrap-up;
• Smile, congratulate each other on a course
and enjoy the process itself.
