To conduct the action simultaneously, a large plasma screen was installed in the square so that the runners could see the Olympic start live on television.

Everyone who ran the distance got a commemorative medal. The winners and runners-up of the competition were grandly awarded with presentation cups and sponsor gifts. For those who weren't ready to run Marathon distance, a 13,5-kilometer-length satellite distance was prepared. The idea of holding a mass Marathon “On the very same day on the very same minute” was supported by the President of the Russian Olympic Committee Leonid Tyagachev and by the President of the All-Russian Federation of track and fields athletics Valentin Balakhnichev.

Maraphon was organized by Prefecture of Zelenograd Administrative District of Moscow, the Department for Physical Culture and Sport of Zelenograd Administrative District of Moscow and the “We and Race” magazine.
