Running City Moscow-2012

April 21, residents seemingly unremarkable neighborhoods of Moscow, saw the crowds of strange people
hurrying somewhere and looking for something, crawled in hidden areas, counted the windows and the balconies,
and the streets resounded with shouts of joy, when somebody found hidden sign around the corner.
Who are these people, why are they here and what are they doing?
This is Running City!
Running City is an urban orienteering event focused on making regional ethnography more informative and competitive.
Event participants are to find specified objects in the City as fast as possible.
Competitors can use different modes of transportation to move around the City: public or private means of transportation, bicycles, inline skates - or just walk.
Modes of transportation and course time depend on the category chosen by the team.
Since 2oo0, Running City events are held every year in Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Kiev. Up to 5,500 people take part in the competition!
We chose running category "Griffin", but really we just walked -)
