Event details and schedule
Have you never run abroad yet? It's time! Today the Finishers team takes you far, very far away! 🧐 Beyond the Black Sea and Georgia, south of Russia, lies Uzbekistan, a mythical country, formerly on the Silk Road between the Mediterranean and China 🌊. For French travelers, it remains a unique destination, so no need to mention it for runners 🏃🏼♀️. South of the country and of the very nice capital Tashkent, which you will likely visit upon arrival in the country, a beautiful race takes place every year in the city of Samarkand, a true world city 🌎. The city was classified in 2001 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and while not widely known here, it holds a remarkable aura in Central Asia ✨.
