About the Race:

Challenge Samarkand Triathlon starts with a single-lap 1.9km swim from the pier of one of the largest purpose-built rowing centres in the world. Athletes will swim in the purest running mountain water.

The bike course is two laps and 86km. It begins in the Silk Road Samarkand tourist complex. Athletes will travel back in time, passing ancient monuments and observing the unique contrast of modern architecture and ancient monuments of the 14th-15th centuries. These include a monument to the King of the 14th century Amir Temur, sitting on the throne, the main attraction of Samarkand – the Registan Ensemble, one of the most famous monuments in Central Asia, the architectural monument of Bibi Khanum, built in 1399-1404, the ancient market Afrosiab, and many more. Then athletes will also travel through the streets of modern Samarkand.

The four-lap 21.5km run course takes place entirely in the modern tourist complex of Silk Road Samarkand, around the picturesque rowing canal, enveloping the Eternal City.
