Our 4th Yell Sport Fest is officially in the books, and we're still catching our breath. Three days, nearly 100 km of trails, and everything from sunshine to fog across Lori and Tavush. Three locations, plenty of challenges behind the scenes, and so many moments worth remembering.

Whether you ran the Discover Armenia Trails stage race, joined Yell-6, Apaga-15 or Okon-35, or came for the kids’ race, music and local food—thank you for being part of it.

We hope you saw the Armenia we love and fell a little in love with it too. ❤️
