Join Yell Sport Fest 2025
Step into Armenia’s wild heart at Yell Sport Fest, a celebration of trails, music, and friendship. From the basalt canyons of Lori to the ridgelines above Dilijan and the adventure hub of Yenokavan, every stage delivers sweeping views, ancient monasteries, and golden autumn forests. The opening route explores river-carved gorges and thousand-year-old sanctuaries near the COAF Smart Center. Another links Haghartsin Monastery with Mount Dimats for a punchy climb and an unforgettable ridge run. The finale unfolds at Yell Extreme Park, where narrow rocky paths, caves, meadows, and cliffs meet a festival atmosphere, plus family-friendly options and a kids run. Trail runners of all levels are welcome, and cyclists can join a lively cross-country race on a varied loop of singletrack, fields, and bridges. Come for the challenge—stay for the community, music, and everlasting memories.
Course details
Three canyons of Lori
Northern Armenia, the Lori province on the border with Georgia.

Ascent to mt. Dimats
Moving to the Tavush province, the city of Dilijan, located in the center of a large national park. Souvenir shops, guest houses, exhibitions and restaurants — there is where to walk, but we are interested in the trail! The route of the second day will connect two highlights of Dilijan: the Haghartsin Monastery and Mount Dimats — one of the iconic peaks of the rocky belt stretching along the Ijevan ridge. The distance of this day is noticeably shorter, but the climb and the epic run along the ridge will not leave anyone indifferent!

Mounts of Yenokavan
The next stop is Yell Extreme Park in Yenokavan village, Tavush. This is one of the must-visit places in Armenia for adrenaline lovers: zipline flights over canyons, horseback riding and a KAMAZ safari across pasture meadows. And of course, the Trail: in addition to the flagship distance of 32 km there will be two more accessible distances of 12 and 4 km. Narrow rocky paths and picturesque meadows, caves, steep cliffs and autumn forest… Often on mountain trails you have to long run to the "most beauty" and in fact it is only for the strongest. But in Yenokavan, all this awaits the participants literally from the start!
