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
[edit]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]
