The main heroes of the celebration were sports families, in which at least one adult works at the company's enterprise. Participants came from Primorsky and Altai Territories, Leningrad, Kirov, Tomsk, Tyumen, Orenburg, Vladimir, Kemerovo Regions, Bashkiria and Karachay-Cherkessia. Together, to the place of the competition, they made their way to half of the Earth's equator. If we add the way back to this figure, then "Seven-I" encircles the entire planet.

Six families-finalists were determined at the qualifying tests on October 17 at the UMMC Sports Palace (Verkhnyaya Pyshma). These are:

During the big jubilee show, the audience made a journey through the “UMMC Universe”. The organizers - UMMC and the Children of Russia Charitable Foundation - have invented unusual spectacular relay races for the participants: high-speed dribbling in huge boots, family jogging in large inflatable skis and overcoming a giant five-meter slide. In order to cope with these challenges, it is not enough for family members to be athletic and dexterous, it is also important to be friendly.

The best of all overcame the obstacles and turned out to be the most united members of the Chulkov family from Gai, the Abdulmanov team from Uchalov ranked second, the Ryabinin family from Kirovgrad ranked third. The fourth, fifth and sixth places went to the Konovalovs from Verkh-Neyvinsky, the Bunkovs from Verkhnyaya Pyshma and the Malyshevs from Krasnoturyinsk.

Silver and bronze medalists were awarded travel vouchers, and the winners got a car. Families that did not take a place on the podium were also not left without a gift - they were presented with money certificates.

The performance of the People's Artist of Russia, singer Valeria, was a jubilee gift to the entire audience.

The names of more than 2 thousand families from 15 regions of the country are inscribed in the history of the holiday, every fourth team managed to overcome several stages and reach the final of the competition.
