In this article, I want to tell a little about and introduceinteresting running locationsof Odessa, as this Ukrainian city can boast not only its status as the main sea window of Ukraine, but also delight running lovers with interesting and exciting running routes and locations and a light sea breeze during a run.

Interesting running locations

Health route

Coverage: asphalt, park paths

Terrain: plain and moderate hills "Health Route" is probably the most popular place for jogging among Odessa residents. The running route runs along the coast of the Black Sea, mostly in the shade of trees. It has an optimal length and a moderate height difference, so it is universal. A run along the "Health Route" is equally suitable for both beginners and experienced runners. In addition, the section of the track from Langeron beach to Arcadia beach is well lit at night, so you can run along this route 24 hours a day.

Kuyalnytsky estuary

Coverage: steppe trails, off-road

Terrain: plain + moderate elevation differences The Kuyalnytsky estuary is an ideal place for a long-distance run in the middle of wild nature. You can also train for an ultramarathon or a trail race on the route.

Interesting running routes

Park named after T. Shevchenko + Istanbul park + Primorsky boulevard + Greek park + Mother-in-law + Zhvanetsky boulevard

Covering: asphalt, park paths

Terrain: plain + moderate hills

The running route covers the largest city park of Odessa, as well as important tourist attractions. It will suit both locals, because early in the morning there are almost no tourists there, and guests of the city who want to get to know Odessa and run through interesting locations.

Peremogy Arboretum + T. Shevchenko Avenue + Kulikovo Field + St. Pushkinska + park named after T. Shevchenko

Covering: park paths, primer, asphalt

Terrain: mostly flat + sometimes minor ups and downs

Thisrunning routeconnects two parks — Peremogy Arboretum and Park named after T. Shevchenko — and combines a run in the green zone with a run through the noisy central streets of Odessa.

Stadiums for jogging

He decided to close the 2019 running season with one of the half marathons of Ukraine, namely the "Yole New Year Half Marathon". "Yole" caught my attention back in 2018 after running a half marathon during the Night-Marathon Fest. One of the features of the "Yol Half Marathon" and the "Night-Marathon Fest" is that they are held in the same location only at different times of the year, the "Night-Marathon Fest" is a summer night marathon and Yol is a winter half marathon.

Therefore, the reason why he stopped at the "Yole Half Marathon" was obvious: first - the familiar and comfortable half marathon track, second - the level of organization he was also familiar with after participating in the "Night-Marathon Fest", well, the third reason - no it was necessary to go somewhere far as it passed in the suburbs of Kyiv.

Registration Registration for the race was on the website: athletic-events.com, where you had to enter your contact details and choose the distance you want to run and then pay the entry fee.

Run The start of the Yol half marathon was scheduled for 12 o'clock on Sunday in the city of Vyshgorod, which is a suburb of Kyiv. It was possible to get the starter packs both on the day of the half marathon before its start and the day before the start of the half marathon.

Waking up on Sunday morning and collecting his running things, he immediately set off for his latest 2019 cross-country adventure. Getting to the starting point from Kyiv is easy enough, all you need to do is reach the metro "Heroes of the Dnieper", and there to take a shuttle bus that goes in the direction of Vyshgorod.

Arriving in Vyshgorod, I immediately set off for the start town to get my start number and start preparing for the "Yole New Year's Half Marathon".

The starting point is located near the waterfront of the Kyiv reservoir where the runners gathered.

The "Yole Half Marathon" cross-country holiday started with a small warm-up and running in New Year's suits, after which the main distances - half marathon and satellite - 8 kilometers - started.

The "Yole New Year Half Marathon" route consisted of 5 laps of 4.2 kilometers each. Although the Jol half marathon route runs in a circle, one interesting feature is that it is even and allows you to finish the running season with a pretty good result and a great mood that you can get during the New Year Half Marathon.

Immediately after the start of the half marathon "Yole", my adventures began, more precisely, even to say that my body decided to carry out with me an educational workshop on the topic: "Eating Before Long Runs". But demonstrate what happens when before the run, eat whatever is wrong.

Therefore, for the first 12 kilometers, my body led me to discuss how to eat before running and at the same time tried to overcome nausea. In the meantime, the feet were doing their job in spite of nausea and rushing to the finish line. The delicious tea, which was at the hydration point, helped it to overcome nausea, after which it eventually retreated. Although the weather during the Yol half marathon turned out to be quite cloudy and sometimes a light rain came in, the half marathon was quite comfortable and easy.

Finish Overcoming the New Year's Half Marathon "Yole" managed in a time of 1 hour 47 minutes, which contributed to a fairly smooth asphalted route. After that, I set off for some warm tea and a break from my last jogging adventure in 2019.

Impression The "Yole New Year Half Marathon" left quite positive impressions in itself with a good organization, equal to an asphalted track. And even with the rain and overcast weather, nausea did not hurt to get a positive impression of the next race.
