About the Yerevan Marathon
As the longest race at Yerevan's major running festival, the marathon shares a central event village with several shorter distances and a broad local field.
Course
Republic Square frames both ends of a route through central Yerevan streets and park corridors. Altitude, turns, and repeated grades prevent a truly flat rhythm.
Race-day weather
October is often cool and dry, though bright sun or wind can make exposed sections warmer. Yerevan's elevation also affects runners arriving from sea level.
