Event Details
The Almaty Marathon has been held in Almaty since 2012. Now, this is the Central Asia’s largest sports event taking place at the foot of the picturesque Zailisky Alatau mountains. Its track runs along the main streets of Almaty, offering stunning mountain views, long climbs and steep descents, where runners are accompanied by numerous cheering spectators along the track.
The Almaty Marathon is much more than just another mass sporting event! We use sport to drive positive community changes, combining inclusivity, sustainability, and the development of the city’s running infrastructure.
Charity is an important part of the marathon’s mission. A portion of entry fees is annually donated to support children with special needs. For all these years we have implemented more than 30 charitable projects in Almaty and Shymkent, as well as Almaty and Turkistan Regions.
The Almaty Marathon is a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and its tracks are certified in compliance with the World Athletics standards. The marathon is also part of the TAN series that is the first international running series of the Turkic peoples.
