AKFA Medline — Official Medical Partner of Samarkand Marathon 2026

Over 10,000 participants, 63 countries, thousands of kilometers covered, and one shared goal — health, movement, and new achievements! On November 7–8, 2026, Samarkand hosted one of Uzbekistan’s largest international sporting events — Samarkand Marathon 2026, organized by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF). The marathon brought together more than 10,000 professional athletes and recreational runners from 63 countries. Participants competed across five distances: 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km, and 42.2 km. The program also featured children’s races and inclusive running events.

AKFA Medline served as the official medical partner of the marathon, providing professional medical support to participants throughout the event.

Medical Support for Over 10,000 Participants

To help ensure participant safety, AKFA Medline provided medical support facilities at key locations throughout the marathon.

The medical infrastructure included:

• A 50 m² medical tent (5 × 10 m) — located at the exit of the finish area.

• A 9 m² medical station (3 × 3 m) — located in the start and finish area.

• 2 ambulances — stationed near the start and finish lines.

• A team of 7 medical professionals, including physicians, medical residents, and a paramedic.

During the event, 148 medical visits were recorded across the two medical stations. Participants received first aid for breathing difficulties, muscle cramps, pain, dizziness, and other conditions associated with physical exertion.

The medical team’s work played an important role in supporting the safety of participants at one of the country’s largest running events.

Trusted by Organizers of Major Sporting Events

AKFA Medline has extensive experience providing medical support for major sporting events, including events associated with MMA, UFC, and MANGU.

Participation in Samarkand Marathon 2026 marked another milestone in this work, reflecting the trust placed in the professionalism and expertise of our medical specialists.

Collaboration with organizers of international sporting events continues to strengthen AKFA Medline’s position as a reliable medical partner capable of delivering professional medical assistance in demanding environments.

We Don’t Just Promote Health — We Lead by Example

A particularly meaningful aspect of the marathon was AKFA Medline’s joint participation with Central Asian University (CAU). The combined team brought together 30 runners, including AKFA Medline representatives. Physicians, clinic employees, and university representatives took part in the races, demonstrating their personal commitment to physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. Their participation highlighted an important principle: our medical specialists not only encourage patients to stay physically active but also practice what they recommend. AKFA Medline was also represented by a dedicated 9 m² branded zone, which served as a meeting point for runners, employees, and members of the sporting community.

Sports Injury Prevention Is Part of Our Mission

As part of the educational program at Samarkand Marathon 2026, an AKFA Medline orthopedic specialist delivered a 20-minute lecture entitled:

“Running Without Pain: How to Protect Your Joints, Prevent Injuries, and Enjoy Every Kilometer.” Participants received practical information on sports injury prevention, proper preparation for physical activity, and maintaining healthy joints. AKFA Medline’s involvement therefore extended beyond medical assistance, contributing to greater awareness of safe and responsible sports participation.

AKFA Medline — Turning Commitment to Health into Action

Samarkand Marathon 2026 was more than a sporting event for AKFA Medline. It was an opportunity to bring together professional medical care, disease prevention, health education, and active participation in the development of a healthy sporting culture.

Two days of competition, over 10,000 participants, the work of our medical team, a joint running initiative with CAU, and an educational program demonstrated AKFA Medline’s commitment to its central mission — caring for people’s health.

One marathon. Thousands of stories. And a team that always puts health first.
