On June 13–14, employees of the UZCARD payment system took part in Zaamin Ultra 2026, an international mountain running event held in Zaamin National Nature Park. Participation in the event marked another step in the development of the company’s corporate culture, which is based on the principles of team support, an active lifestyle, and the pursuit of new achievements.
More than 150 employees of the UCMG LLC management company joined the mountain marathon, including representatives of UZCARD, ARCA GROUP, SMIC, PLUM TECHNOLOGIES, and B-TECH.
Zaamin Ultra is one of the country’s largest sporting events and is held as part of the Samarkand Marathon series. The race brings together professional athletes and active lifestyle enthusiasts, offering participants the opportunity to cover routes of varying difficulty against the scenic landscapes of Zaamin National Park.
For the UZCARD team, participation in Zaamin Ultra was a natural continuation of the company’s established tradition of supporting sports initiatives. Earlier this year, company employees took part in the Tashkent International Marathon and also participated in Bukhara Night Race 2026.
“We strive to create an environment within the company where employees can realize their potential not only professionally, but also in other important areas of life. Sports initiatives help strengthen team spirit, develop a culture of mutual support, and promote healthy habits. It is especially encouraging to see that employees’ interest in such events is growing every year, while our team continues to expand,” said Yulia Tsapkova, Deputy General Director for HR at UCMG LLC.
The distinctive feature of Zaamin Ultra lies not only in its sporting component, but also in the opportunity to discover Uzbekistan’s natural wealth. The race routes pass through the unique areas of Zaamin National Park, making the event an important platform for promoting an active lifestyle and domestic tourism.
By supporting employee participation in sporting events, UZCARD continues to develop corporate initiatives aimed at strengthening team well-being and promoting the values of a healthy lifestyle.
