Armenia 2027 · Second edition
One crossing. 500 kilometres. One cause.
The second crossing of Armenia from north to south, running day and night, in support of the SOURCE Foundation.
The challenge in numbers
July 2027 · Gogavan → Meghri
500 kilometres to go *beyond *ourselves. Gruelling nights, moments of doubt, and *breathtaking landscapes.
Second edition
After a successful first crossing in 2025, TEAM ARM TRAIL sets off again with an even stronger ambition: to bring together the sporting challenge, solidarity and the discovery of an exceptional land.
The route
A demanding route through the Armenian mountains, from the north to the south of the country, passing by the landscapes of Lake Sevan.
Day and night
A non-stop trail crossing, where every kilometre will be as much a physical challenge as a human commitment.
Crossing a country on foot, facing the mountains, piling up the kilometres and pushing on through fatigue takes serious preparation and unwavering determination.
There will be moments of doubt, hardship and gruelling nights. But also breathtaking landscapes, encounters and moments of sharing that give the adventure its full value.
We know it will be hard. That is precisely what makes this challenge so special.
We want to show that with willpower, solidarity and a goal bigger than any individual, great things can be achieved.
The runner
Tigran MARTOYAN
He will carry the 500 kilometres of this second crossing, from Gogavan to Meghri, day and night.
Our greatest achievement will not only be reaching Meghri. It will be having rallied people around a cause that deserves all our attention.
The cause
Running to support the SOURCE Foundation.
For this second edition, our solidarity commitment takes centre stage as we support the SOURCE Foundation, which works in Armenia with autistic people and their families.
Behind this cause are children, parents and loved ones who need support, understanding and care. Their stories, their struggles and their hopes give our crossing an extra meaning.
Through this project, we want to make the SOURCE Foundation's work known and rally donors and partners to give it concrete support. The funds raised will help make the adventure happen and, as far as possible, support the foundation's work.
We want to turn this challenge into a true chain of solidarity.
500 kilometres of effort to support those who face their own challenges every day.

Armenia, much more than a backdrop
Discover Armenia
differently.
Our route will take us through mountain regions, remote valleys, villages and spectacular natural areas.
From the north of the country at Gogavan to the southern landscapes around Meghri, by way of Lake Sevan, this crossing will showcase the diversity and beauty of Armenia.
We want to show the country as we love it: welcoming, authentic, rich in history and deeply attached to its traditions. The adventure will also be a chance to celebrate its cultural heritage, its landscapes and the women and men who bring it to life.
We want everyone who follows the challenge to feel the urge to discover Armenia too.
Trail running in Armenia
Making trail running known and helping it grow.
With its relief, its trails and the variety of its landscapes, Armenia has remarkable potential for trail running and outdoor sports. This second edition is also a chance to showcase it.
By sharing our route, our encounters and the images of the adventure, we want to encourage people to discover the sport and raise the profile of trail running in Armenia, in France and beyond.
Our ambition is to encourage exchanges and, in time, to help new local sports initiatives emerge.
There will be gruelling nights. And breathtaking landscapes.

Questions
Good
to know.
What are donations used for?
The funds raised help make the adventure happen (preparation, travel, logistics, support and safety along the route) and, as far as possible, support the SOURCE Foundation's work with autistic people and their families in Armenia. A report will be published after the crossing.
What is the SOURCE Foundation?
A foundation working in Armenia with autistic people and their families. It is the central cause of this second edition.
Can I get a tax receipt?
[To be confirmed by the association: if it is recognised as being of public interest in France, each donation gives a tax reduction of 66% of its amount.]
Why a bank transfer and not a card payment?
A bank transfer is free: no fees are taken from your donation. Card payment may be added later through a platform dedicated to associations.
Is the challenge really run at night?
Yes. The crossing is a non-stop challenge, day and night, with a support team along the route for logistics and safety.
I'm a company, how can I help?
