Annual race in Uzbekistan since 2019
The Tashkent Marathon (also known as the Tashkent International Marathon [ a] or the Nowruz International Marathon [ 3] ; Uzbek : Toshkent xalqaro marafoni ) is an annual road -based marathon hosted by Tashkent , Uzbekistan , since 2019.[ 2] [ 1] [ 4] It is a World Athletics Label Road Race .[ 5] During the race weekend, a half marathon , a 10K , and a marathon-length ekiden are also offered.[ 6]
History
The inaugural race was held on 24 March 2019 as a half marathon.[ 1] [ b]
The 2022 edition of the marathon was held concurrently with a half marathon hosted by the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation .[ 7] This was also the first edition that World Athletics granted the race its Label Road Race status.[ 2] In addition, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began about a month earlier, Russian runners were banned from the event.[ 8] [ c]
Course
The course begins outside Humo Arena , runs counterclockwise on a roughly circular route around the center of the city, and turns around after a quarter-marathon, shortly before the circle is completed.[ 9] Marathoners then run back to the start along largely the same route.[ 9] This loop is then repeated to complete the marathon distance.[ 9]
