This post-apocalyptic looking shot of Telma Altoon climbing the pass into Artsakh was taken in early September, 2019.
After 1km on city streets, the triumphant Artsakh Ultra runners will reach their final finish line at the Avan Shushi Plaza Hotel. A bonfire, festivities, music, and food buffet will await each runner in or next to the Los Angeles Shushi Friendship Park outside the hotel.
Today’s final stage will be just 16 miles (26km) with 5256’ (1600m) of elevation gain, but it will be etched in everyone’s memory, the perfect conclusion to an incredible journey through geography, history, and time.
Runners and staff will stay in this hotel overnight and enjoy a final celebratory banquet with live local music this evening. It will be a wonderful final cap on an extraordinary journey!
Trail marking and development of the Janapar Trail is primarily performed by Trails For Change NGO, a non-governmental organization which we support and which is our charitable partner for Artsakh Ultra and an Official Charity of AdventureCORPS.

Dadivank! This is our destination and turn-around point for stage 3. There will be a checkpoint located at Dadivank at the snack bar / restrooms, and runners will be given up to 30 minutes “off the clock” to explore the monastery. It’s a dramatic, gorgeous setting with over one millennium of history! This time off the clock will be deducted at the finish line so that every runner may take the time to properly enjoy Dadivank.
From here, the runners will turn around and retrace their steps back up the highway, and then up the gentle uphill dirt road along the Tukthun River through Zuar to our campsite just beyond the hot springs.

Stage 3: Zuar Hot Springs > Dadivank Monastery > Zuar Hot Springs
30 miles / 48km with 1800’ / 555m of elevation gain
Today’s stage is an out-and-back, so we will return to this campsite tonight again. Our destination – and turn-around point – is the magnificent 9th century monastery of Dadivank.

We have great friends in Tsar, Artsakh who will help host us for our first overnight! Photo take during our May/June 2018 reconnaissance trip.

Runners will quickly leave town, heading east towards and into the mountains. The route will be a broken pavement road through a few villages, then a dirt road up, up, up into the wide-open, mostly empty mountains which delineate the border between Armenia and Artsakh.

Today’s stage is an out-and-back, so we will return to this campsite tonight again. Our destination – and turn-around point – is the magnificent 9th century monastery of Dadivank.
Just 50 meters beyond Telma’s bridge is “Umbrella Rock,” a moss-covered cave covered in a waterfall. It’s a stupendous sight, and site, one not to be missed! In fact, we will have a checkpoint here and runners will be able to take up to 15 minutes “off the clock” to enjoy the setting.
After absorbing the energy, the stillness, the power of Mother Nature, and the millennia of Armenian cultural history here, the runners will turn around and retrace their steps back up up up and out of Hunot Canyon.
That's Armen and Areg of Trails For Change during our September 2019 reconnaissance.
"The syphony of rocks" just about the Tartar River, on the way into Karvachar. That's Areg of Trails For Change.

That's "Ultra Runner Telma Altoon's Bridge."
The first part of Stage 5 reminded your race director of Marin County in northern California. Gorgeous forest singletrack!
We will diverge from the actual Janapar Trail here onto the "Zuar Loop" as we will finish stage 2 at the Zuar Tak Jur (hot springs), which is just north of Zuar itself.
Today’s stage will be led out by Telma Altoon and the children of Tsar. After that, the runners will drop down a rocky single-lane road into the canyon carved and dominated by the Tartar River.
When you climb enough, eventually you get to the top! Here's race director Chris Kostman on the stage 2 route in September of 2019.

Runners will quickly leave town, heading east towards and into the mountains. The route will be a broken pavement road through a few villages, then a dirt road up, up, up into the wide-open, mostly empty mountains which delineate the border between Armenia and Artsakh.
After 11 miles downhill followed by a short climb, in the town of Karvachar we will have a checkpoint in front of a local store / market where runners can purchase drinks, fruit, pastries, and much more.
Natural wonders, including this little waterfall and pool, abound in Artsakh! That's Armen of Trails For Change during our September 2019 reconnaissance.
There are at least three natural water springs during stage 2 including this one at this picnic area. Great place to refill your pack and bottles!
Armenians and “odars” (non-Armenians) come to Artsakh from all over the world to visit Hunot Canyon. Carved by the Karkar River, it’s a dramatic, beautiful, peaceful setting and the sense of harmony one feels here with nature and history will be the the perfect balm upon each runner’s body, mind, and spirit during the final day of the Artsakh Ultra.
You’ll want to stop repeatedly to take photos on the singletrack trail leading to the bottom of Hunot Canyon, and then stop again at the stone arched bridge across the river which was built in 1720.
Next is a water spring, and then a little further on runners will reach “Ultra Runner Telma Altoon’s Bridge.” This wooden bridge was installed in 2019 in honor of the Armenian ultra runner (and Badwater athlete) who first ran the entire Janapar Trail in 2017. (She ran the full 178 miles / 286km in June of 2017 in a time of two days, 10 hours. Her run literally put the Janapar Trail on the map and led to a dramatic increase of support for trails by the Artsakh government and for Trails For Change NGO.)
Pictured here is Telma Altoon at the approach to her namesake bridge (the first time she had seen it) during the September 2019 reconnaissance.
