The Russian Pacific Fleet suffered a heavy loss.
During the “Bridges of Vladivostok” marathon, Captain First Rank Evgeny Vityutnev died.
The head of the closed administrative-territorial entity Fokino in Primorsky Krai, Aleksandr Baranov, reported this on his Telegram channel.
The chief navigator of the Pacific Fleet took part in the marathon.
During the race, the officer felt ill. He dropped out of the race. Doctors came to his aid.
They tried to resuscitate Vityutnev on the spot, but the man died at the age of 42.
It is not specified how far the officer covered.
But it is known that he became ill after overcoming one of the most difficult sections of the route.
When going up a long climb, many marathon runners prefer to switch to a walk.
Law enforcement officials drew attention to the situation. A preliminary investigation into the incident was initiated.
The prosecutor's office will check compliance with legal requirements when organizing a sporting event.
