The race ended with a thanksgiving prayer service in the St. Theodore Church in Saransk, for which all those who had undertaken the difficult six-hundred-kilometer journey prayed together. The cleric of the cathedral, Priest Vitaly Shibanov greeted representatives of Orthodox youth from the neighboring diocese on behalf of His Eminence Metropolitan Zinovy of Saransk and Mordovia and congratulated them on the successful completion of the journey, the end point of which was the capital of Mordovia - the city of flowers and fountains.
