Siberian International

Marathon

Клишина Алина

Siberian International Marathon (SIM) has been held in the city of Omsk since 1990.

The marathon took place on the first Saturday of August. The race date was moved forward a week in 2012 so that the start time exactly coincided with that of the Olympic men’s marathon held in London. In 2013 it was decided to hold a marathon in September because of the weather conditions.

Since the early 1990s, the marathon has attracted thousands of

participants ( and many foreigners) each year and the number is growing

annually.

The 25th Siberian marathon in 2014 was attended by 11,049 people

from 16 countries and 19 regions of Russia.
