Tashkent International Marathon 2028
Dates taking place: April 2028 (Dates TBA)
Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Of course, we are not saying some people would have been skeptical fifteen years ago if you told them you would go to one of the most exciting marathon destinations to be Uzbekistan. If they didn't have a map, they would have just accepted your perspective about a country no one knew about. Tashkent is one of the most impressive running events in Central Asia that is quietly growing. The course takes you through one of the most underrated cities in Asia with Soviet style architecture and your only reminder that you're not done yet is 30 kilometers of nothing but beauty.
What Is the Tashkent International Marathon?
Tashkent International Marathon is one of the most prestigious running events in World Athletics Road Label. An official AIMS course certification with an A category designation validates the agonizing 42.195 kilometers. Subsequently, it may serve as a qualifying time for the Olympic and World Championships, which is a massive achievement. Of all the people who have taken part, very few of them had the audacity to register for a full marathon, mostly out of fear of the marathon's distance. So, in order to achieve some self-satisfaction or to indulge in a fantasy of complete deniability, there's a half marathon, a 10 km, a 3 km, a Nordic walking event, and a Kids Run, which is endearingly sweet and slightly chaotic.

A City That Does the Work for You
Tashkent is not the city for those who just want to show up and zone out. Each route takes runners through the most impressive sights along the path, and when the body is screaming for a stop, at least your eyes have enough to keep going. The parks, wide central boulevards, and city skyline add interest. It helps during the 35th km when things get deep.
Beyond the Race
A marathon is only as good as the other things surrounding it. The city has a food scene so good that recovery feels like a reward rather than a necessity. The old bazaars and the Chorsu market always seem to have you losing track of why you're there and how long you've been there. Uzbekistan's tourism infrastructure has improved and is the perfect time for the Tashkent International Marathon 2028 to be hosted.
Eco-Friendly & Highly Efficient
From race packs made from old event banners to t-shirts made from recycled plastic, the organizers have been very deliberate about sustainability. There’s even an option to plant a tree instead of receiving a t-shirt. For an event of this size with mass participation, this is hugely commendable and shows great ambition for the cause.
For Travel Professionals
If you are a travel agent, DMC or corporate incentive planner looking to impress clients with something original, the Tashkent International Marathon 2028 is answering a question no-one has been asking. Uzbekistan is trending, Tashkent is becoming more connected and a World Athletics marathon with good prize money and a city with so many post-race experiences is a self-selling package. Corporate clients will appreciate the variety of distances and the great team categories. Your clients will not have done this marathon. That’s the pitch. You’re welcome.
