About this event

Head to Turkestan, Kazakhstan in October for the Turkestan Marathon, an international event attracting thousands of participants. A flat, elevation-free course, straight with a single turn, and varied distances: marathon, half marathon, 10 km ( Nordic walking optional) and 3 km for youths aged 10 to 14. After finishing, immerse yourself in the local culture and its monuments, including Khoja Ahmed Yasawi Mausoleum.

Don’t get it twisted, you’re not heading to Turkey but to Kazakhstan, specifically Turkestan! 📍 Since 2012, road racing events have taken root in the country and quickly evolved into an international gathering drawing thousands of participants from around the world 🌍. As you’ve no doubt gathered, the Turkestan Marathon has proven its pedigree! 😌 In the streets of this city rich in culture and history 📚, you’ll discover exceptional monuments at every stride! 🏃‍➡️ So in October, you’ll be able to shed the fleece 🥶 and bring out the shorts and t‑shirt 🌞 to line up at the start 🚩.

And the least you can say is that you’ll get to sprint: the courses are straight, with no elevation and with one bend 🚀. The dream for any runner chasing a new PR! 🤩 You’ll still need to cover the distance and for that you’ll have a choice between a marathon, a half-marathon and a 10 km. Even walkers will find joy since the 10 km is accessible via Nordic walking! For young running hopefuls, no problem: a 3 km race is offered for ages 10 to 14! 🧒 Perfect for a family moment 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

After crossing the finish line 🏁, the adventure continues! Between monuments, bustling lanes and traditional bazaars 🏺, Turkestan offers a unique immersion in the culture of the Central Asia. During your visit, you won’t want to miss the majestic Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasavi 🕌, masterpiece of Timurid architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site! 🥰 For even more insights, the Historical, Cultural and Ethnographic Center and the History Museum will be as comprehensive as can be 🧠. If you have time to extend your stay, head to the capital Astana or to Almaty to run their Half Marathon or Marathon! 😎

But before you picture yourself at other races, grab your ticket to the Turkestan, and don’t forget your sneakers in the suitcase! 😉
