--- title: "About us · Running and Marathon Association of the Republic of Tajikistan" description: "Running and Marathon Association of the Republic of Tajikistan We bring together amateur and professional runners and hold races across the country, from city starts to mountain trails. The association was founded in 2021, and every season since we have put on at least five events. Our aim is a simple one: to make starting a race in Tajikistan as clear and as dependable as at any major race in the world. Honest timing, a properly prepared course, and a results protocol you can trust. In short 2021 — the year the association was founded At least five races every year Distances from 5K to the 42.195 km marathon Team races for four Starts in the cities and in the mountains What we do We prepare and run races end to end: agreeing the route, marking the course, setting up aid stations and medical points, timing the race and publishing the protocols. Between races we grow the running community: helping teams come together, working with partners and volunteers, and telling the stories of the races and the people in them. Why people run with us Entry and payment online, no queues and no paperwork Honest chip timing and an official protocol A prepared and properly marked course Aid stations and a medical service on the distance A race pack and a finisher medal A personal finisher certificate A team classification Results of past races stay on the site for good: in a year, or in five, you will still find your time, your place and who ran alongside you. Distances 5K — a first race and a family format 10K — the next step 21 km — the half marathon 42.195 km — the marathon Team 5K — four runners in the squad Each event has its own set of distances, and its own age limits — they are stated on the distance card on the race page. Teams A team is not only a joint classification, it is a reason to train together. A team distance has a composition: how many run and how many of them are men and women. The captain gathers the entries, and the team page keeps its results across every race. For partners A race is a venue where thousands of people see you before, during and after the start. We offer partner packages at several levels, from presence on the course and in the start village to placement on the site and in the event's materials. For volunteers No race happens without volunteers: they meet the runners, work the aid stations, and help out on the course and at the finish. If you would like to see a race from that side, leave an application on the site. Get in touch Write to arm.marathon.tj@gmail.com or call +992 915 47 78 78 . For questions about a particular race, look at its page first — it carries the schedule, the documents and answers to common questions." canonical_url: "https://marathon.tj/en/about" locale: en meta: "og:description": "Running and Marathon Association of the Republic of Tajikistan We bring together amateur and professional runners and hold races across the country, from city starts to mountain trails.
