Organized by the Russian section of Union des Francais de L'Etranger, the rally will begin at 10 A. M. at the Aerostar Hotel, said Jaqueline Amet, one of the organizers.
Teams of four persons each will compete to locate seven stops on the route. At each stop, they will get up to four clues about the location of the next site, Amet said. Teams will receive points depending on the number of clues they need.
"It is the first rally we've planned in Moscow", Amet said. "It will help people get acquainted with each other and also with Moscow".
The last stop of the rally is Tren Mos Bistro, where the group will gather for dinner, and awards will be presented to the team that finishes first and has the lowest score.
The Russian section of Union des Francais de L'Etranger was created in February, Amet said. The group also sponsors a bridge tournament on the first Saturday of each month at Novotel Sheremetyevo 2 Hotel.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
