2015

One of the most important differences of the race from the previous expeditions has been the Social Challenge. The main idea was to carry out good things by teams during the whole route of adventure. Not good words and intentions but real actions which remain in the memory of people for a long period of time. It is interesting that the results of this challenge did not influence on the sports part of the game. Moreover, teams which made good thinks real ruined their sports results. The more valuable their choice was. The more important their contribution was. And they are much closer to the all real that constitutes the basis of «Expedition».

Tasks for headquaters and team fans have bacome another bright particularity. For example, to collect wishes and congratulations from celebrities: Mikhail Zhvanetsky, Vyacheslav Polunin, Shnur and others including Angelina Jolie and Richard Branson. And the most interesting part that teams managed to do it! The race went beyond of the route and attracted the worldwide attention. Perhaps, anybody could think that it was cleverly made – up PR and they would be right. But as Tom Sawyer said «The fence has been painted! ». And everybody had a great pleasure of it.

2013

The race 2013 had a huge difference from the previous ones. Firstly, with new routes from Murmansk to Vladivostok across Kazakhstan and Baikonur Cosmodrome. Secondly, with new tasks including space-vehicle launching. Thirdly, with new teams. Strong and solid teams which were not afraid to challenge to organizers from the beginning of the route and united at the most difficult part at the end. Team line-up was very interesting: veterans «Brodyagi» and «Ermak» gathering «mix» with strong participants from the previous races; the team of prayers «Mayak»; new participants «Kosmos» being leaders during the whole route and deserved to win the race at the finish line; «Yeti» where 5 brutal men went headed by the fragile female captain. « Perviy Bit», «Lemaks», «Oleni», «Nasha Alaska», «Alga», «NEC», «Trust» and teams Prolog.
