World Sport Volunteers Movement SCULT joins forces with His Serene Highness Prince of Monaco Albert II to empower the legendary Tallsinki-Monaco Electric Car Marathon 2018 with volunteers. The cooperation agreement was signed between CEO of SCULT, Dr. Ott Pärna, and Monaco's Honorary Consul in Estonia and Olympic medalist, Mr. Jüri Tamm.
Electric Marathon is the revival of the important historic event – Rally Tallinn-Monte Carlo that was held between 1930 and 1939. The modern Electric Marathon is an intellectual rally. It is not about the speed, but the accuracy of the arrival time to the finish point. The so-called zero car is the first to go and it sets the etalon time. The winner is the participant whose time is closer to the etalon one.

Electric Marathon aims at demonstrating the consistency of tradition and building cooperation between countries, regions and cities. The most important missions of the Electric Marathon are to promote modern technologies and environmentally friendly solutions, recall the need of energy saving, and initiate the construction of charging stations network, building new future of our planet. For that reason, the stage finishes of the Electric Marathon take place in the campus areas of many Europe's leading universities of technology.
