A large-scale environmental initiative, the nationwide road relay race "Taza Qazaqstan," continues in Kazakhstan. It was organized by the youth wing of the Zhastar Ruhy party under the AMANAT party with the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan . The goal of the event is to raise environmental awareness among the population, engage young people in environmental protection, and instill in citizens a sense of personal responsibility for the cleanliness of their homeland.

The fourth day of the relay took place in Shymkent and became a true celebration of sport, ecology, and unity. The morning began at the A. Askarov Arboretum with a vibrant event called "Champion's Spirit." This day exemplifies how sport, health, and caring for nature can be inextricably linked. The organizers emphasized that ecology is not only about a clean environment but also about purity of body, spirit, and mind.

More than 300 activists gathered for the morning exercise session: students, volunteers, representatives of youth organizations, and simply concerned city residents. The class was led by renowned Kazakhstan champions, who inspired the participants with their example. Among them were three-time world champion in combat sambo Arman Ospanov , world champion boxer Birzhan Zhakypov , and international mixed martial arts tournament winner Akbar Yelubay .

Before the training session began, Arman Ospanov addressed the youth with some motivating words:
"A true champion isn't just someone who wins in the ring. They're someone who, by example and by their actions, makes the world a better place. Protecting nature means being strong, responsible, and forward-thinking. This is the choice of everyone who cares about the future of their country ," he said.

The workout took place in an atmosphere of energy and inspiration. The young people eagerly followed the champions' exercises, receiving not only physical energy but also a powerful emotional boost. After the workout, many noted that such events motivate them to lead a healthy lifestyle and reflect on their personal responsibility for keeping the world around them clean.

In addition to the sports portion, the organizers held short environmental education sessions , where they explained the importance of waste separation, plastic recycling, and careful stewardship of natural resources. Participants were given informational brochures about environmental conservation projects and reminded that "ecology begins with small steps—keeping your yard and your own mind clean."

Particular attention was drawn to the invited guests who actively supported the initiative. Among them was the founder of the Jaidarman games and the president of the Kazakhstan KVN League, Yesen Yeleuken . He participated in the exercise alongside the youth and gave a short speech:
"A clean environment is an indicator of a nation's culture. If we care about nature, then we care about ourselves. Such initiatives unite people and shape the consciousness of citizens who care about Kazakhstan's future ," he noted.

Murat Zholdykhozhaev, chairman of the Shymkent city branch of the AMANAT party , also expressed his support. He emphasized that "Taza Qazaqstan" is not just a temporary initiative, but a movement that should become a permanent part of public life:
"We see young people actively engaging in environmental initiatives. This instills confidence that Kazakhstan's future is in good hands. Environmental protection isn't just a matter of keeping the streets clean; it's a matter of culture, education, and love for one's native land ," he said.

After the sports portion, the participants moved on to practical activities. An environmental cleanup event was held at the arboretum. Young people collected trash, cleared the walkways, watered the plants, and planted new saplings. Such initiatives not only beautify the city but also instill in young people the habit of protecting the environment every day.

Environmental quizzes and interactive games were also held, where participants could test their knowledge of ecology, waste recycling, and the sustainable use of natural resources. Winners received commemorative prizes—eco-bags, reusable bottles, and products made from recycled materials.

In the afternoon, volunteers and activists held an informational flash mob : they distributed leaflets, told passersby about the purpose of the event, and invited everyone to join the "Taza Qazaqstan" movement. Many Shymkent residents enthusiastically supported the initiative and expressed their desire to participate in future stages of the relay.

The Shymkent stage became an example of how sport and ecology can unite different generations and social groups towards a single goal—a clean and green country. The "Champion Spirit" Day demonstrated that love for one's homeland begins with love for nature.

The "Taza Qazaqstan" relay race is gradually evolving into a large-scale national movement. It unites regions, cities, and villages, engaging thousands of citizens. Each new day is not just another milestone, but a symbol of growing environmental awareness in Kazakhstan.

Today, more and more young people realize that environmental protection is not the responsibility of individual organizations, but a personal mission for each individual. The "Taza Qazaqstan" relay race demonstrates that young people have the potential to be driving forces of change, uniting sports, culture, art, and the environment in a unified effort toward a better future.

Champion's Spirit Day in Shymkent will be remembered not only for its vibrant emotions and energy, but also for the realization that human strength is demonstrated not only in sports but also in the ability to preserve the environment.

This initiative continues to inspire and remind us: a clean Kazakhstan starts with each of us .
