The event in a few words
Let's head to Kazakhstan! ๐ฐ๐ฟ At the beginning of June, the Astana Half Marathon takes place right in the heart of Central Asia. It's more than just a half marathon โ๏ธ; you'll also find a 10 km race, a 10 km walk, and another half marathon, but this time it's a relay! ๐ฏโโ๏ธ There's a wide range of events suitable for all levels, whether you're into road running, passionate about Nordic walking, or ready to tackle the challenge as a group. It's a thousand and one ways to explore the city of Astana ๐คฉ.
During this time of year, the weather is as delightful as a Kazakh sweet treat ๐ฐ. Temperatures can reach up to 77ยฐF (25ยฐC), but without breaking a sweat along the banks of the Ishim River... ๐ However, beware of the wind ๐จ. In Astana, the wind blows through the steppes ๐ณ of the capital. Nonetheless, it's the perfect time to enjoy your strides at the other end of the world! ๐ Yes, running abroad is a unique pleasure and an experience to be had at least once in a lifetime โจ. So why not take the plunge in Astana, the vibrant capital of Kazakhstan? This city will surely surprise you before, during, and after the race ๐โโ๏ธ. Moreover, you'll be contributing to promoting sports in the country. A portion of the funds raised ๐ธ from bib sales is donated to children in need, those who are ill, or to finance the construction of cultural and sports infrastructures ๐ช. It's a way to run for a good cause! โค๏ธ
But the beautiful Kazakh city has more tricks up its sleeve... ๐ Explore its exceptional monuments like the Bayterek Tower located in downtown. This tower is topped with a glass egg at the height of 97 meters! If you're afraid of heights, hold on! ๐ตโ๐ซ Also, visit the Palace of Peace, offering a unique experience with its pyramid-shaped design. End your trip with a bit of greenery ๐ฑ at the Korgaljyn Nature Reserve, a site on the UNESCO World Heritage list. You might even spot pink flamingos ๐ฆฉ at this time of year, quite the walk! ๐ The city combines tradition and modernity, offering a unique experience in Central Asia... ๐ฒ
So, are you convinced? ๐คฉ
