All runners are champions

Savremena’s students were very enthusiastic about the race. They ran the 21 km half-marathon in 2 hours and 18 minutes and went through the finish line together. Still, their PE teacher showed that he was in better shape and ran the full 42 km marathon. However, the students were ecstatic about their first great running achievement and their first half-marathon medal.
