Challenge Samarkand Review Rating: 5 Stars Our school participated in the 2024 and 2025 Challenge Samarkand events, and the experience was exceptional! Over 30 students from our school joined each year, competing in various events, including the Kid's Run (200m/400m/600m/800m/1000m) and other race categories. The organization was flawless, with no bottlenecks or congestion hindering performance. The course design and the event atmosphere was vibrant and supportive. We highly recommend Challenge Samarkand for its excellent management and inclusive events for all ages! Special thanks to Rima and Laziza for their support and extraordinary service!
