Baku inspires people of different ages to take the start, a regular
participant of the Baku Marathon, winner of a full marathon in
Türkiye among veterans, 67-year-old Tapdyg Dadashov said, Trend reports.
“For me, taking part in this marathon is a real celebration and
great joy. It is especially important that a full marathon is being
held here — this inspires people of different ages to take the
start.
I am 67 years old, and I believe that age is not a barrier to an
active life. On the contrary, through my participation I want to
show young people that movement, sport, and striving toward a goal
should always remain part of a person’s life,” Dadashov said.
He noted that the atmosphere at the marathon is very warm and
friendly, and that support from people is clearly felt.
“Such events bring people together and provide strong
motivation. I want young people to look at such examples and
understand that it is important to take care of their health,
engage in sports, and not be afraid to set new goals at any age,”
the participant added.
