Yerevan Marathon and Half Marathon
The half marathon follows an out-and-back course starting and finishing near Republic Square, passing several of the city's parks including Circular Park in the Kentron district. The full marathon route traces through the Yerevan city center and the gorge of the Hrazdan River, with an elevation profile in the 970-1,070 meter range and roughly 300 meters of gain on the full marathon course.
In October, Yerevan's parks and river gorge are painted in autumn hues, making the course through Circular Park and the Hrazdan gorge a scenic run with crisp, comfortable air. After crossing Victory Bridge, warm up with a bowl of hearty khash or fresh lavash at a local tavern, and explore the city's vibrant Vernissage market for handmade crafts.
