The Samarkand Marathon is a road race with a hilly course on asphalt, passing ancient mosques, madrasahs, the blue domes of Registan Square, and traditional mahallas. It is AIMS-certified and an Abbott World Marathon Majors qualifying race.

Why attend here

In November, Samarkand's vast turquoise domes and ancient madrassas glow under crisp, golden light, and the bazaars brim with pomegranates and warm, spiced plov. Between the marathon and your training runs, wander the Registan at sunset, sip green tea at a chaikhana, and taste fresh non from a clay tandyr — a quiet, atmospheric time to soak up the Silk Road's heart.
