History

The inaugural race was held on 24 March 2019 as a half marathon.[1][lower-alpha 2]

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][lower-alpha 3]

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]
