The Samarkand rowing canal attracts not only water sports athletes. It is a favorite place for triathletes to train and for official triathlon competitions.

Tourists are attracted by the well-maintained hotel grounds and the Eternal City park.

There are only three similar sports facilities in the world: the Krylatskoye Rowing Canal in Moscow and the Oberschleissheim Rowing Canal in Munich.

In October 2026, a race from the World Backyard Ultra Samarkand series will start here.
