This is another ‘runseeing’ tour in central Tashkent, focused on some waterfront paths, main streets, and several important monuments and squares. The full route is 13 km, but can be shortened. It can be mix & matched with our other central Tashkent route.
Riverfront Path. Google Street View
Start at the Monument of Courage and run south on the path through Turkestan Park. The next 2 km is an exploration of the park-like Independence Square area — there’s a large square, fountains, & Memorial Square. Retrace your steps, cross Navoi Ave., and then run for 4 km out & back on a riverfront path to the impressive Minor Mosque. The next section is up to 2 km on the path in the median of Abdulla Kadiry St. At the west end, you can also cross into Abdulla Kadiri Recreation Park, which has ~1 km of paths. For the return, use the unnamed street south to Navoi Ave., and head east on the wide sidewalk of one of Tashkent’s important streets.

A 'runseeing' tour of Tashkent that hits the main sites and central parks: Amir Temur Square, Pakhtakor Central Stadium/running track, and City Park. A longer route includes Eco Park.
In the Chilanzar District in the southern part of Tashkent, one can stitch together a ~5k run combining pleasant paths of Gafur Gulyam Recreation Park with paths around Milliy Stadium.
A pleasant run in the Yunusabad District in northeastern Tashkent, combining paths around the Japanese Garden/Expo Centre area and paths around Shahidlar Square and the Museum of Political Repression & Memorial. ~8k and mostly off-road.
A pleasant green space for a run in the far eastern part of Tashkent. The 66-hectare garden dates back to 1920 and features 6000 species and varieties of plants. 5-6 km of paths and a great shaded option on a hot day!
