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.
Almaty Marathon is the Central Asia’s largest sports event taking place at the foot of the picturesque Zailisky Alatau mountains. Its track runs along the main streets of Almaty, offering stunning mountain views, long climbs and steep descents, where runners are accompanied by numerous cheering spectators along the track. This is so much more than just another sports competition! It’s a truly global event with participants from more than 60 countries around the world.
Almaty Marathon is much more than just another mass sporting event! We use sport to drive positive community changes, combining inclusivity, sustainability, and the development of the city’s running infrastructure.
Charity is an important part of the marathon’s mission. A portion of entry fees is annually donated to support children with special needs. For all these years we have implemented more than 30 charitable projects in Almaty and Almaty Region.
Almaty Marathon is a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and its tracks are certified in compliance with the World Athletics standards.
Almaty Marathon is included in the TAN series — the first international running series of Turkic nations.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone collect my race pack for me?
No
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.
