The city of Makhachkala, Dagestan, will host a significant nationwide event on August 9th: the Athletes' Parade at Trud Stadium. This initiative, spearheaded by the Healthy Fatherland movement, will simultaneously take place across all regions of the Russian Federation, with Makhachkala serving as the official hub for the North Caucasian Federal District. The Regional Management Center (RMC) of the Republic will provide comprehensive media coverage for the parade.
Participants in this celebratory festival will include a distinguished array of individuals: Olympic and Paralympic champions, world and European championship winners, renowned coaches, local sporting heroes, active members of youth movements ("Movement of the First", "Unarmia"), representatives from various sports organizations and citizens who embrace a healthy lifestyle.

* Foster social cohesion: Visibly demonstrate national unity through the unifying power of sports culture.
* Promote an active lifestyle: Create a motivational environment that encourages widespread physical activity among the population.
