Almaty Marathon
Join Almaty Marathon 2025
The Almaty Marathon (Kazakh: Алматы марафоны) is an annual charitable event. The course of the Almaty Half Marathon is one loop with very little flat terrain. Most of the time you will be either running uphill or downhill with around 200 meters of elevation difference. The full marathon course covers the same loop twice. Once you are done running you can climb even more hills because there are many amazing hiking trails just outside the city. Make sure you visit the Big Almaty Lake for a stunning photo and great memories. The organizers of Almaty Marathon help promote a healthy lifestyle amongst the citizens and are involved in many projects including construction of sports infrastructure in boarding schools, nursery gardens and purchase of medical equipment.
The Almaty Marathon stands as the preeminent running event in Central Asia, drawing approximately 15,000 participants from over 50 nations. As a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), its course holds certification according to World Athletics standards.
Almaty, the chosen city for the marathon, serves as the cultural hub with a distinctive atmosphere that captivates millions of tourists. Throughout the race, runners traverse the city's streets, immersing themselves in its rich historical backdrop. The route leads participants past Almaty's most notable landmarks, commencing at Republic Square and proceeding along Al-Farabi Avenue, providing breathtaking vistas of the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountains.
Beyond being a mere athletic event, the Almaty Marathon carries a philanthropic mission. Each year, a segment of the entry fees is allocated towards enhancing sports facilities for children with special needs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the distance after I purchase a ticket?
Participants can change their distances only before 15 September 2025. If a slot for participation in the Competition has already been purchased, you must contact the Organising Committee and pay 1,000 (one thousand) KZT for changing the distance. In case of changing the distance from a shorter to a longer one, the participant must pay the difference in the cost of the slots. In case of changing the distance from a longer to a shorter one, the difference in the cost is not refundable. It is possible to change the distance only if there are free slots for the selected distance. In this case, the previously assigned BIB number will be lost and the participant will be assigned a new number corresponding to the selected distance.
