<p>May 7, 2017 in the Moscow
 region of Kolomna for the third time in a row was the annual 
international charity race Wings for Life World Run. 
	Exactly
 at 14:00 Moscow time, this amazing race was started in which tens of 
thousands of runners in more than 20 countries simultaneously came to 
the start to contribute to the development of research on spinal cord 
injuries and to improve the lives of people around the world.
	
</p>
<p>The
 unusual feature of this race is its format - instead of the finish 
line, a special car is used here which, 30 minutes after the start of 
the participants, starts moving after them and gradually increases the 
speed from 15 to 35 km / h. Whom the car-finish caught up with, it comes its finish. The winner in the race is the one who will run away from all the others from the start, ie. Who is the last to overtake the car-finish. And by the way. Everyone can take part in the race: both professional ultramarathons, amateur runners, and people in wheelchairs.

<p><br>
</p>
<p>And this option 
LC200 I liked more - it is better protected from unwanted scratches in 
the yard and in parking lots at supermarkets :)

</p>
<p>Dmitry Berdasov 
decided to warm up a little - it was necessary to carry all day in his 
hands in a generally difficult photographic equipment.
	 Do it once.

</p>
<p>The Wings for Life World Run race has no finish line in its usual presentation. Each participant runs as much as his personal limit allows, until he is caught by the finish car or a catcher car. The car starts 30 minutes after the start of the race, gradually increasing the speed from 15 to 35 km / h. To fix the results of thousands of athletes, the car is equipped with an electronic timekeeping system. Achievements
 are recorded using individual beacons, which are activated when a 
competitor crosses the start line, and turns off when he is overtaken by
 a catcher car. The one whom Toyota Prius will overtake the last, will become the winner of the Russian race. In 2017 the catcher car in Kolomna was run by the most titled motor-freestyle rider of Russia Alexei Kolesnikov.

</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Winning in a race without limiting the maximum distance depends entirely on the athlete's ability to distribute energy. The
 Toyota Prius serves as an excellent example: combining the energy of a 
gasoline engine and an electric motor, the car spends a minimum of fuel 
to achieve maximum mileage. 
	So, the fuel 
consumption of the Toyota Prius in the combined test cycle is 3 liters 
per 100 kilometers, and with the use of energy efficient driving 
techniques, Pulse & Glide is reduced to a record 2.1 liters per 
hundred.

</p>
<p>Yes, the Kremlin in Kolomna is an amazing place: here the houses of local residents are on its territory. Imagine leaving this way out of the house, and you have just behind the fence an ancient tower and walls!

<p>Then I was 
visited by one thought: you are running, you are ahead of the catcher 
car in some village, everything - you have a finish.
	 And you're all tired and in sports form. What's next?

<p>But even here the organizers have foreseen everything. On the route of the participants are cars Toyota Rav4, who pick up those who left the race.

<p>Exactly at 2.30 
pm the ketch-car with a stand-in equipment (just in case) equipped with 
the electronic timekeeping system starts and goes "chasing" the 
participants of the race.

</p>
<p>Well. All fled and left. It now remains to wait who will run farthest from the catcher car?

<p>While making this photo, I
 did not yet know that I managed to photograph the winners of the 
Russian stage of the Wings for Life World Run. On the left,
 at the photo number 32235 Konstantin Shishov from Kaluga, who won the 
Wings for Life World Run among men on the track in Kolomna. The catcher car overtook Constantine at around 70.4 km. 
	To
 the right of Constantine, through one participant, participant number 
71324 of Alexander Morozov, who became the winner of the Russian stage 
of the Wings for Life World Run among women.
	 Alexandra showed a brilliant result - 57.6 kilometers.

that I managed to visit and tell you about the wonderful world charity 
race Wings for Life World Run, and I also visited Kolomna :)
