MINSK, 14 April (BelTA) – The moto season H.O.G. Spring Challenge is among the top 3 tourist events held in Minsk, Svetlana Demeshko, deputy head of sports and tourism at Minsk City Hall, told journalists on 14 April, BelTA has learned.

“At tourist expos we always present Minsk as a modern clean safe city with an enormous number of different attractions for every tourist. The moto season .O.G. Spring Challenge is among the top three tourist events in Minsk. It is also the third biggest event in the capital. The first one is Minsk Half Marathon (30,000 participants). The second-largest event is Viva Rovar bike festival (almost 15,000). Last year, the H.O.G. Rally Minsk moto season wrap up show brought together some 7,500 people. I think this festival has all the chances to break the records,” Svetlana Demeshko said.
