Tbilisi Hills Trail Race: Another Adventurous Event by TrailLab
After Lisi Trail Race, Tbilisi Adventure Run and Kazbegi Marathon TrailLab present Tbilisi Hills Trail Race, which will take place on October 25. The race is Hosted by Tbilisi Hills Golf & Residences - the largest, innovative and prestigious project, which has no analogues in Georgia.
The race has two distances:
● 10 kilometer (fun run)
After the start at the main square of Tbilisi Hills the route follows Teleti mountain range and after 3 kilometers starts to descend toward Tbilisi on a beautiful serpentine. After losing about 400 vertical meters the route enters Krtsanisi before starting to climb on the Teleti range once again, but with a different route this time. After reaching the top the route leads back to the start/finish location with the background views on Shavnabada.
Amazing views on Tbilisi are seen from most parts of the route and unusual perspective on Mount Kazbegi can also be seen in good weather. The route follows the trails surrounded by the trees/bushes and with characteristic flowering cacti, avoiding scary spines of which adds another level of challenge to the race.
The race is also distinct from other TrailLab races with its unique elevation profile. As most of its 760 meters of elevation gain is concentrated in the second half of the distance and not in the first half, as for the other races.
All the finishers will be awarded finishers' certificate. Delicious pasta will be served at the end of the event.
“This will be our 3rd Race in Tbilisi and 4th in Georgia this year,” say the representatives of TrailLab, the organization with a mission to promote trail running across the country.
“Our mission is to promote trail running and mountain tourism in Georgia, through organizing various sports events. This year we already managed to organize Tbilisi Adventure Run – a trail half marathon from Vake Park to Kojori and back, Lisi Trail Race and the most recent, well-known Kazbegi Marathon.
“We’re thrilled to host and co-organize Tbilisi Hills Trail Race. It’s one of our top priorities to promote a healthy and active lifestyle,“ says Tbilisi Hills Golf & Residences marketing director Raimonds Elbakjans.
