The Athletics Federation of Uzbekistan held a press conference to discuss the upcoming VI Tashkent International Marathon, scheduled for April 21. The marathon has the prestigious status of the World Athletics Label and is part of the calendar of World Athletics competitions. In addition, it will award rating points for the 2023 Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
This year, the Tashkent Marathon is expecting participants from 32 countries, and the number of slots has been increased to accommodate around 5,500 runners. The event will feature classic marathon distances of 42 km, a half marathon distance of 21 km, and shorter distances of 3 and 10 km. There will also be a Kids Run and a nordic walking competition on the eve of the marathon.
The total prize fund for the marathon has been significantly increased, with additional bonuses for the marathon and half marathon track records. The prize fund is being formed through the sale of slots, and organizers are confident that the event will be a major success.
The Athletics Federation of Uzbekistan, together with the Central Asian Athletics Association, will coordinate the event for the sixth time. Extensive preparations have been made to ensure the marathon is held at a high standard, including track coverage and anti-doping control. The Tashkent International Marathon track has an international certificate from the Association of International Marathons and Races (AIMS).
