Course

---

The marathon course features a gentle terrain with a total elevation gain of only around 70 meters, making it accessible for beginners and intermediate runners. It is a major running event among the sands of Southern Kazakhstan, imbued with the spirit of the Great Silk Road, and introduces participants to the ancient history and modern life of Turkistan.

Why attend here

In late October, Turkistan's golden autumn light makes the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi feel even more timeless, and the cooler air is perfect for exploring the city's ancient Silk Road streets between your run. After the race, warm up with a bowl of hearty beshbarmak and fresh baursak at a local tea house, a comforting end to a day in this spiritual heart of Kazakhstan.
