What is Discovery Run?

Image
  🌄 What is a Discovery Run? At Trialeti Vanadzor , we love exploring and discovering new routes in our beautiful city Vanadzor. Running becomes even more exciting when every trail is a new adventure! That’s why every Friday we host a Discovery Run — a special session where we explore new corners of Vanadzor and the Lori region on the move. It’s a great way to see the city from a different perspective — whether you're a local or a visitor. Want to discover Vanadzor in a unique way? Join us for a run — everyone’s welcome! 🌲 Discovery Run – May 23 🌲 This Friday, May 23, we're heading out on an adventure straight from Vanadzor’s main square — and within just 10 minutes, we’ll find ourselves deep in the forest! That’s one of the best things about life in Vanadzor — nature is always closer than you think. We'll cover an 8 km route through shady forest trails circling the city, and finish near Shamam Café , where we can treat ourselves to their legendary croissants ...

Autumn with Trialeti Vanadzor

  Starting running in the fall is a real achievement! The days are getting shorter, the morning coolness is not energizing, but freezing :) But! If you get up and head to Lcher at 8:30 am, you won't be alone! Joint training gives a boost of energy and positivity for the whole day! Running is against the autumn blues!;) #vanadzor #runnig #Trialeti #autumn #autumnmood

Vanadzor Botanical Garden and Artek Camp

Image
  This Friday, the Trialeti team went running in the Botanical Garden! Fresh air and the lush greenery create a favorable environment for training. We also made a stop at Artek - an abandoned pioneer camp for children that was very popular during Soviet times. Now, only ruins remain of it. However, the place is still very beautiful and convenient for runs! There you can find 2 Strava running segments: To Artek Camp - https://www.strava.com/segments/33521928 Vanadzor Busab Full loop -  https://www.strava.com/segments/29247909 #strava #running #vanadzor
