The story

Kislovodsk International Marathon Kavkaz.Run in Kislovodsk

Kavkaz.Run is Kislovodsk's international marathon weekend, staged each autumn inside Kislovodsk National Park around the Valley of Roses in the Stavropol region's spa town. Runners choose between marathon, half-marathon, 10k, 5k, 2k and a costumed 1k fun run, all threading through pine forest trails and mountain scenery that make this one of the more scenic road races in southern Russia.

Kislovodsk has spent two centuries being a place people go to breathe.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Run from typical city marathons is its setting: the entire course runs through Kislovodsk National Park, a protected forest and mineral-spring landscape that has drawn health-seeking visitors to this Caucasus spa town since the nineteenth century, rather than through traffic-closed city streets

02

The mystery stays covered

The route climbs and descends past pine groves, canyons and the Valley of Roses, giving distance runners mountain views usually reserved for hikers

03

The city starts moving

Organizers built the event around six distances, from a full marathon down to a family-friendly costumed one-kilometer race, so the same weekend accommodates elite competitive runners and casual participants with children

04

The water draws everyone in

The stated long-term ambition, openly discussed by organizers, is for the race to become Kislovodsk's signature annual event

The local code

Living ritual

Organizers frame the event as a long-term project meant to grow into a fixture of the running calendar rather than a one-off promotional race
