Renovated Running Track Complex Commissioned at VSMU

On September 10, 2026, the renovated running track complex at Vitebsk State Medical University was officially commissioned.

Students can now feel more confident and comfortable on the running tracks, allowing them to focus fully on their performance. The main innovation is the modernized rubber surface, produced using advanced technology. It provides enhanced shock absorption, significantly reducing impact on the joints and making training safer.

As VSMU Rector noted, the opening of the renovated facilities is another step in implementing the national strategy, which places considerable emphasis on improving students’ physical fitness. The Head of State and relevant government agencies have repeatedly stressed the importance of creating accessible and safe sports infrastructure for young people, and today’s event is direct confirmation of this commitment.

During the event, certificates of appreciation were presented to students for their active participation in the university’s sports life and outstanding athletic achievements. Certificates of merit were also awarded to staff members for their professionalism and significant contribution to students’ physical education.

The first, university-level stage of the “Battle of the Faculties” competition as part of the 2026/2027 Republican Universiade was also officially opened.

Students have already appreciated the quality of the new surface. As long as weather conditions permit, regular physical education classes are being held at full capacity, while sports clubs are also actively operating. According to the students, running has become easier and more enjoyable, and their training sessions now bring nothing but positive emotions.

The VSMU stadium is a multifunctional facility that traditionally serves as a gathering place for people who lead an active lifestyle and sports enthusiasts. It provides excellent conditions not only for athletics but also for team sports, allowing everyone to find an activity they enjoy and maintain excellent physical fitness.
