Challenge Samarkand

Challenge Samarkand is more than just a race. It’s a journey
We draw inspiration from the culture and history of Uzbekistan, which is why you’ll see traditional ornaments in every detail – from the medals and bibs to the overall race design. It’s our way of bringing the spirit of Samarkand into the experience.
But the most important part – your journey starts long before the finish line.
It begins the moment you land in Samarkand.
It continues on the course – through sun, speed, and emotions.
And it stays with you even after the race, when you step out to explore this incredible city.
Challenge Samarkand is about an experience that goes far beyond the start and finish.
It’s a race you fully immerse yourself in – from the very first moment of your journey
