We get to run pros and amateurs, whose running motivates each month to hone and measure our strength
Milan is a statik and works for a company that sells metal roofs. But he led us to him by running. He is the founder and organizer of the Trenčín cross-country league.
The runners meet in public cross-country races around Trenčín from March to November. Nine rounds of the league mean one cross race per month on a track between six and ten kilometers long. This year is the 12th year running. Runners from Bratislava to Žilina start here and from the Czech border. Yesterday, we even had a Greek girl in Drietomo, who came here to boast Milan.
Runners are generous people and they always add something to the starter. This is how the sum is collected, which then goes as a gift to the boarding school. This is usually over a thousand euros a year.
Run is just an additional sport for Milan because he lives more adrenaline. He climbs rocks, loves sports in the wild and especially skialpinism.
The greater the wilderness and the conventions, the better it is for me, the more enthusiastic he speaks, adding that he has played football since childhood.
