πŸ”₯ Strava Segment for the Challenge:
πŸ‘‰ Yeghjervasar Quarter Everesting Segment
(1,106 meters of vertical gain per lap) https://www.strava.com/segments/39599529

🧭 The trail is clear and runnable throughout, with only a short 500m stretch of tall grass (previously cut but might still brush your legs). Nothing to worry about for bold mountain goats like us.

πŸ’§ There’s a small stream at ~1,930m elevation (after 500m of climbing). It’s good for a splash, but not suitable for refilling your bottles.

🐾 Dogs are rare – only encountered one lazy barker so far. Usually just cows.

Join us for a big vertical day, great vibes, and shared mountain effort! πŸ”πŸ’ͺ

Quarter Everesting on Yeghjervasar — 2212 meters of vertical in one day

Image
On July 12, our Trialeti Vanadzor team took on a serious challenge — a Quarter Everesting : 2212 meters of vertical gain, all on foot, all on trails. This wasn’t just a training run — it was a test of endurance, mindset, and love for the mountains. We chose Mount Yeghjervasar (elevation 2559 m) for the route — a rugged but accessible peak, perfect for mountain running. At 7:00 AM, a group of runners left Vanadzor and headed to the trailhead, where we met the mastermind behind this challenge — Egor from Dilijan. At 8:00 AM, the climb began. And, in true trail fashion, we were soon joined by two stray dogs who decided this wild adventure was theirs too — and they ran the entire route with us like true pros . 🌲 About the Route We have to highlight the trail itself — a true summer gem . Roughly 50% of the climb winds through forest , offering shade and soft footing. Around the halfway point, there’s a cold mountain stream — perfect for a mid-ascent cooldown. Of the seven runners who ...

27 July 2025 - A Historic Day for Armenian Endurance: Half Everesting Conquered!

Image
  A Historic Day for Armenian Endurance: Half Everesting Conquered! On July 27 , a milestone event took place — not only for Trialeti Vanadzor as a club, but for the entire history of endurance sports in Armenia. The team organized its first official attempt at a Half Everesting — that means gaining 4424 meters of vertical elevation in a single trail running activity. Just like during the Quarter Everesting challenge, the chosen peak was Mount Yeghjervasar , located in the stunning Dilijan National Park. Early in the morning, Ivan Biryukov and Egor Smirnov set off on their first ascent. The weather was kind to them — the first two climbs were shaded by alternating clouds, making the effort more bearable. During the second ascent, they were joined by Shushanik Saakyan , who brought amazing energy and support to the team. In addition, a small group of three athletes from Yerevan joined the challenge — each completing one full ascent as part of the event. After the third ...
