The International youth cycling race Neman that spanned 85 kilometers from the Polish town of Sokółka to the Belarusian city of Grodno has finished. The large-scale sports competition has been held for the 30th time, and this year, more than 100 athletes took part in it. Participants of this year are cyclists from Belarus, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Moldova. The race is traditionally divided into several stages between Belarus and Poland. Observers estimate that during the four days of the race, athletes did more than 250 kilometers.

The cycling race once again demonstrated the advantages of the visa-free regime in the territory of the Avgustov Canal. Cyclists were able to cross the border without having to stop at any checkpoints.
