It was first time that any championship is organised in this area of Region 1. <br> Two hundred and fifty competitors plus one hundred and fifty visitors were part of this major event. Twenty four societies from four continents were represented.<br><br> The Championships took place in National Park Burabay, some 250 km from the capital Astana. It is beautiful terrains for the eyes – lakes, rocks, but a little bit difficult for running. <br> It was obviously not a problem for sports people from Russia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. Traditionally they took almost all the medals, leaving just a few for the rest.<br><br> Thanks to the organizers and until next year when the Region 1 Championships will be hosted by the Czech society.<br><br> The results are available through the DARC webpage at <br><a href="http://ardf.darc.de/contest/14090812/14090812.htm" target="_blank">http://ardf.darc.de/contest/14090812/14090812.htm</a><br><br> Source IARU Region 1<br><a href="http://www.iaru-r1.org/" target="_blank">http://www.iaru-r1.org/</a></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
