Trubetskoy Estate
— There is a small park near my home with a pond, children’s and sports grounds. I love spending time there and often go for walks to enjoy the fresh air, the beauty of nature, birdsong, and simply to relax and switch off from daily concerns. Sometimes my friends and I have picnics in the park, and these moments always bring a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Arbat Street
— This street always brings back nostalgic memories: I used to stroll here in the evenings with my school friends. It is a place where I find calm amid the bustle of the city. I especially remember the 2018 World Cup, when the Arbat was full of fans from across the globe united by their love of football. The street has a unique atmosphere—every corner seems to invite you to take in its beauty.

Romanov Pereulok and Pyatnitskaya Street
— I love to lose myself among the old lanes inside the Boulevard Ring, wandering past former mansions and tenement houses with a cup of coffee and good music in my headphones. It helps me relax. I particularly enjoy walking along Romanov Pereulok and Pyatnitskaya Street.
The capital is unique to each of us. Now is the perfect time to gather a team for HSE RUN—an exciting journey through Moscow’s most picturesque streets.
Moscow is a city full of mysteries and unexpected discoveries. Every walk is a small adventure, and HSE RUN is a wonderful way to explore the history and the spirit of the capital, discover its hidden gems, and experience the unique atmosphere of a big city.
Full details and registration are available on the website.
