The BKS 10k Charity Race has recently gained two additional sponsors – KIOGE and CCC. Their support will now allow us to bring the ChampionChip APEX active system, which provides an accurate reading of individual time of a runner.

ChampionChip Hunagy fully meets the requirements of International Triaphlon Unit and is very excited to add Astana to their impressive list of cities ranging from Athens and Abu Dhabi to Seoul.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson wants to participate in the British-Kazakh Society Run in Astana on 11th September, but with other mayoral commitments cannot do this year. Nevertheless he does not rule out a future commitment.

Lord Fraser of Carmyllie QC, Chairman of the British-Kazakh Society said: “While for 2010 this is disappointing, I am encouraged by this heartfelt support for Astana and I am confident that if other duties allow it, he will join us in 2011 and I am equally confident he would receive a very warm welcome from his counterpart in Astana – the Mayor.”
