Registration has opened in Turkmenistan to participate in the RuCode 2026 international algorithmic programming Olympiad. The competition will take place on October 18, 2026, and is organized in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation and the "Eternal Gold" ("Baky Tylla") educational center.

The Olympiad is open to schoolchildren, students, and professionals working in the IT sector. The competition is held in a team format, with each team consisting of one to three participants.

Depending on their skill level, participants can choose from three tracks: levels A–B are for experienced programmers, C–D are for participants familiar with basic algorithms, and E–F are for beginners in programming.

Participants who achieve the best results in Turkmenistan will receive a special invitation to the grand final to be held in Moscow in December. The previous edition of the Olympiad entered the Russian Book of Records for the number of participants.

Those wishing to participate are advised to register in advance due to limited spots. Registration and detailed information are available on the official RuCode website.
