Two members of the Russian branch, Ivan Kirdyashev and Corneliu Leahu took part in, and won first (for the 3 kilometre run) and third place (for the 5 kilometre run), respectively. The event aims to provide an opportunity for personal and team-building skills.

The Wirtschaftsclub is a business club for bilateral and multilateral business connections between the EU, Russia and Central Eastern Europe. The Wirtschaftsclub unites workers from German-speaking countries who currently reside in Russia.

The main goal of the Club is to develop business connections and to deepen relations in different spheres including science, education, culture and sport, as well as setting up and supporting interpersonal contact.

The race included three categories including; a 1 and 3 kilometre run which everyone could participate in, a 5 kilometre run for athletes and five 1 kilometre runs for relay teams. Personal and team ratings were based on smart algorithms taking sex and individual results of every participant into account. Modern technologies were also used for registration and tracking purposes.
