Bugyly Trail






Join Bugyly Trail 2025
Have you ever dreamed of running through untouched wilderness where forest, steppe, and mountain meet in poetic silence? The Bugyly Trail invites you to explore one of Central Asia’s most breathtaking and least-explored natural regions—the legendary Qarqaraly Mountains of Kazakhstan. Here, your journey unfolds in the mystical heart of Qarqaraly National Park, leading you along winding paths through ancient pine forests, across open steppes, beside tranquil alpine lakes, and over rugged mountain ridgelines. The ever-changing terrain, from soft forest trails to rocky summits, offers both a rewarding physical challenge and unforgettable scenery at every turn.
Whether you are an experienced ultrarunner or discovering trail running for the first time, Bugyly Trail has a distance for every adventurer. The 50 km ultramarathon is designed for seasoned runners seeking a demanding test, featuring five aid stations and nearly a thousand meters of elevation gain. If a marathon-length challenge calls to you, the 21 km Forest Trail traverses some of the park’s most scenic sections with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the landscape. For those looking for a shorter but still invigorating experience, the 10 km Shaitankol Trail offers a mystical route through the region’s heart. Beginner and youth runners are also welcome, with approachable 5 km and 1 km races ensuring all can participate and enjoy the magic of Qarqaraly.
Bugyly Trail is much more than a race; it is an immersive experience set beneath endless skies. Runners have the chance to camp under the stars, swim in crystal-clear mountain lakes, and gather around campfires to share stories over delicious traditional Kazakh food. This is a unique opportunity to unite with fellow runners from around the world, surrounded by the warmth of local hospitality and the untamed beauty of Kazakhstan.
As a UTMB/ITRA certified event, Bugyly Trail offers authentic wilderness exploration without the crowds, a challenging yet accessible altitude, and a genuine spirit of cultural exchange. This is the perfect destination for those seeking not only sport but adventure and discovery—all in one extraordinary journey across the legendary mountains of Qarqaraly. Run where legends live, and discover the wild soul of Kazakhstan.
