TAN brings together iconic races held in the historic cities of Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan
It is both a race series and a one-of-a-kind journey: each participant touches history, immerses themselves in Turkic culture, and opens new horizons through sport

The name TAN means "dawn" or "morning" — the moment the world begins to awaken. It is a time for first steps, bold decisions, and early victories. We fill every race with this spirit, passing on the energy that awakens inner strength — to grow, to change, and to move forward, toward the world and toward yourself
