Pedestrian races (Competetion pn Foot) are the most popular race(competetion) among many peoples of the world, including Kazakhs. The ancient genealogical records show that the fighters of the Saka, Oguz, and Kipchak tribes will compete on foot. One of them, historian Nizam al-Mulk, who lived in the twelfth century, writes in his "Sayasatnam" that the infantry race is widespread among ancient Turks. In the folklore of Kazakh folklore ("Er Tostik", "Sunny girl under the sun", etc.) Pedestrians are well described. The pedestrian race is one of the most widespread in ancient Egypt, Latin and Hellenic, and is included in the Olympic Games of the Ancient World.

During the Nauryz national holiday the women-men's pedestrian race is interesting. Prior to this day, each group of people prepares the most brilliant young men and women for themselves. In addition, before the competition, a group of specialized team of arbitrators will be formed by mutual agreement of the group leaders, and special prize money will be given to the winners. He / she will be obliged to inform in advance about gifts offered at various distances to stimulate the game. At this point, the hinges prefer the distance themselves.

Game Order
Before starting this race, the man takes the pedestrians to the place where the competetion will be. The riders stack up, lift their hands, and at one point down the stairs, they are moving forward immediately. At the time of the race, as it says, "thousands of runs", the most severe is immediately blocked. If his lungs are exhausted and quickly tired, one of the greatest healthiest people in the world will start to shave. When he approached, he cried out with a loud voice:"Perfectly! Excellent!". And when he comes to his hometown, it is a great blessing and awe-inspiring gratitude. In some competitions, two people may be the same. At that time, the arbitrators would dispel the scandals between groups through various evidences. At the end of the game, the audience will be awarded the prize for each distance. In such competitions gifts are given to the second and third persons. (According to tradition, women-men's pedestrians are held at 100-500, 1000, 2000 meters).
