Bukhara Night Race
Join Bukhara Night Race
The Bukhara Night Race is a unique event held in the heart of the historic city, running alongside the Bukhara Biennale. Since 2022, participants have gathered near the Ark Fortress to race along illuminated streets, passing iconic sites such as madrasahs, mosques, the Kalon Minaret, and traditional trading domes. Soft lantern light and architectural illumination transform Bukhara at night, offering an unforgettable atmosphere. Race formats include a half marathon, 5 km, 10 km, Nordic walking, children’s runs, and plogging. The event emphasizes social and environmental responsibility through the "Avvalgidan Tozaroq" program, encouraging clean-up runs to keep Bukhara’s streets pristine. Accredited by SheRACES, the race follows global standards for equality and inclusion. The evening culminates with a musical program, making the Bukhara Night Race a celebration of sport, culture, and community in one of the world’s oldest cities.
