Route description

This club running outing links Zhilyovo’s railway side with Avangard through the woodland country around the Elinka. The station beginning still has the familiar suburban rhythm of a railway building, roads and settlement approaches. Farther on, open ground and the Lopasnya lead towards a more secluded middle. Around the Elinka, the interest lies in moving through woodland where bends, ground and small hollows demand attention even from experienced runners. The final section returns to settlements, passing the Kamenka and Vozdvizhenskoye memorial marker before the railway-side finish. The direction also carries club memories. The Elinka is associated with Alexander Sinelnikov and the group’s tradition of sporting day outings. His riverside memorial stone needs a separate checked approach: the main course does not promise a monument visit. Enjoy the gradual change from inhabited places to woodland and the connection between different river areas of southern Moscow Region. Complete present passage is unconfirmed. Establish a safe permitted crossing of the M-4 corridor, the M-2 approach and woodland conditions beforehand. Crossing motorway carriageways is prohibited. Do not begin the complete version unless a present permitted course is established. Once access is confirmed, prepare water, food, sufficient daylight and departure from Avangard.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Railway points on different lines serve the beginning and finish. The complete version is for adults prepared for sustained woodland running. Confirm permitted major-road crossings and the entire woodland passage before starting. It is unsuitable for children, strollers or an ordinary cycle outing. Dog rules and continuous reception are unestablished.

Nearby

Alexander Sinelnikov’s Elinka memorial stone lies away from the main course. It needs a separate permitted approach with bank and ground checks; visiting is not an included stop. Vozdvizhenskoye’s estate and church also require independent approaches and access checks. The nearby Karpov Bolshoy pond is not a confirmed waterside visit merely because a woodland road passes close by.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Arrive at Zhilyovo Railway Station on the Paveletsky line. The finish lies beside Avangard Halt on the Kursk line. These are different rail approaches: check which trains call, permitted passenger entrances and return services for the day. The club plan does not establish the current timetable. Until the complete passage is checked, allow for cancelling the full outing when arranging tickets and a meeting.
By car
Arrange delivery to Zhilyovo’s station side and separate collection at Avangard if a rail return is unsuitable. This is a linear woodland outing, leaving a vehicle at the opposite end. Agree a permitted collection approach and meeting place beforehand. Avoid trying to drive the entire running course or substituting a closed service road for an unconfirmed crossing.
Parking
Parking is unconfirmed. Establish permitted vehicle storage beside Zhilyovo’s railway arrival and terms for separately agreed collection at Avangard. A station, local road or neighbouring hotel does not establish parking for this outing. Keep passenger approaches and entrances clear.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 271 м.
SurfaceAsphalt 30%, Dirt 13%, Compacted dirt 10%, Unknown 45%.
Риски The principal unresolved issue is a safe permitted crossing of the M-4 corridor in the selected direction. Never enter motorway lanes, use closed service approaches or treat an old club passage as present permission. At the M-2, confirm the lower-road approach and its accessibility. Reassess woodland hollows, wet ground and river crossings after rain or high water. Do not attempt the complete version until permitted crossings and the entire woodland course are established. Even with confirmed access, sustained woodland movement and energy for the settlement finish require preparation.

Расчётное время в пути 8 h 58 min

Time for the route | Unestablished With stops | Unestablished Reliable complete timing for a present independent passage is unavailable: confirm motorway crossings and woodland access first. Club group speeds and old outings do not establish an ordinary visitor’s duration. After checking access, plan a full daylight outing with a reserve, adding rail arrival, return waiting and any transfer separately. Allow independently for a memorial-stone approach by the Elinka.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose a bright snow-free day after checking access and ground conditions for a first repeat. Prolonged rain and spring high water change river and woodland passages. Summer vegetation can obscure junctions; autumn brings earlier darkness. Historical club skiing does not establish that this entire running connection suits an independent ski outing.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Grippy footwear for ground and woodland roads.
Your own water and food with a reserve for the complete confirmed outing.
Weather-appropriate clothing, rain protection and a torch.
Phone with an offline map, battery reserve and a small first-aid kit.
Checked permitted road crossings and an agreed return from Avangard.
