The Synergo Team at Samarqand Marathon 2026: Sport, Spiritual Heritage, and Team Spirit.

Synergo Team at the Samarkand Marathon 2026: Sport, Pilgrimage and Team Spirit

Date: November 7–8, 2026, Samarkand

On November 7–8 this year, the "Samarkand Marathon 2026" took place in Samarkand, and the Synergo team took an active part in it. Our colleagues ran the 10 km and 21 km distances, testing their strength and willpower. Before the race, the team also visited the holy shrines and historical sites of Samarkand.

Why a marathon?

For Synergo, a team is not just a shared office and shared projects. We consider mutual trust, support and unity among colleagues to be the company's greatest strength. That is why we value events that allow us to pursue a common goal together, beyond the desk.

Our main goals for taking part in the Samarkand Marathon were:

• Strengthening team spirit. Running the same road toward the same goal brings colleagues closer together and has a positive effect on cooperation at work.
• Building discipline and perseverance. Preparing for a marathon and finishing the distance requires patience, willpower and consistent effort. These qualities are just as essential in complex projects.
• Testing ourselves. For every participant, it was a chance to discover the limits of their abilities and become better than they were yesterday.
• Pilgrimage and getting to know Samarkand. A close acquaintance with the history, architecture and spiritual atmosphere of one of the oldest jewels of the East.

Before the marathon: a pilgrimage to the holy sites of Samarkand

Before the competition, our team visited the most significant shrines and historical sites of Samarkand. This trip not only enriched our knowledge of history, but also gave us spiritual strength and calm ahead of the marathon.

Imam al-Bukhari Memorial Complex

We began the pilgrimage at the mausoleum of Imam al-Bukhari, the great scholar of hadith and the sultan of the science of prophetic traditions. Known throughout the Islamic world for his work "Al-Jami' as-Sahih", this scholar is the pride of our country. At the holy site, our team offered prayers for the soul of our great ancestor.

Registan Square

Registan Square, the symbol of Samarkand, became one of the places that left the strongest impression on our team. This architectural ensemble, made up of the Ulugh Beg, Sher-Dor and Tilya-Kori madrasas, has been a center of science and culture in Central Asia for centuries. Its unique ornaments, turquoise domes and majestic portals amaze every visitor.

Shah-i-Zinda Memorial Complex

Our next stop was the Shah-i-Zinda ensemble of mausoleums. The mausoleums lining a narrow street, the delicate majolica ornaments and the blue domes are considered a unique example of medieval architecture. Here, too, our team paid its respects and admired our historical heritage.

In memory of our first President, Islam Karimov

The pilgrimage ended with remembering the first President of our country, Islam Karimov, and visiting his grave. Team members offered a prayer for the soul of this great man and honored his memory.

Marathon days: side by side with hundreds of participants

During the marathon days, Samarkand turned into a true celebration of sport. Together with participants from different regions, the Synergo team also stepped up to the starting line. Our colleagues ran the 10 km and 21 km distances.

The applause of spectators along the route, the attention of the organizers and the unique atmosphere of the city made the race even more meaningful. For every participant, the most important thing was to reach the goal they had set and to support their teammates. Our colleagues successfully completed their distances and finished the marathon with pride.

Sport — one of Synergo's values

A healthy lifestyle, self-improvement and teamwork are an integral part of Synergo's values. Just as we rely on consistency, precision and teamwork when developing complex engineering solutions, the same qualities are needed on the marathon course: a sound plan, patience and trust in one another.

The Samarkand Marathon 2026 was not only a sporting challenge for our team, but also a wonderful opportunity to feel our unity, connect with our historical heritage and gain new strength.

We sincerely congratulate all the colleagues who took part in the marathon! Your willpower, hard work and team spirit are an example to us. We will continue to actively take part in such events in the future.

Synergo — together toward new milestones!
