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]

Notes

1. Sources, including the race site itself, inconsistently switch between "Tashkent International Marathon" and "International Tashkent Marathon". ^[2]
2. This race has also been referred to as "a marathon at a distance of 21,095 meters", which is the length of a half marathon. ^[4]
3. World Athletics had banned Russian athletes from a number of its own races, but its ban had not applied to the Label Road Races. ^[8]
