Viktoria Liksanova, winner several times over of the Russian Sailing Championship and winner of the Spartakiad games, Dmitry Berezin, European champion, and other leaders from the Russian national team will get on their marks.

Ladoga Gold international road cycling race
Leningrad Region, the Republic of Karelia, St. Petersburg
For the first time, SPIEF participants will have the chance to get close to the world of serious high-speed cycling. The Ladoga Gold international multi-day road cycling race will be held for the second time, but this year it is making its debut in the Forum programme.

The racers will travel more than 1,000 kilometres along the roads of the Leningrad Region and the Republic of Karelia, surrounded by the natural beauty and historical monuments of Lake Ladoga. The final stage will take place in St. Petersburg, on the last day of SPIEF.

The first test race was a successful example of communication with other countries. Athletes from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the United Arab Emirates took part. This year’s Ladoga Gold will reach new heights: the cycling race will become a platform for expanding international sports interaction and an opportunity for a wider audience to learn more about the Leningrad Region and Karelia.

Ladoga Gold is organized by the Russian Cycling Federation and the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation and the Centre for Sports Training of the Russian National Teams.
