Ascend Armenia 2023

Description

Ascend Armenia is an invitation and a labor of love. In the two years since the idea to host an event here first took shape, dozens of people have invested time, tears, and passion to create a beautiful, challenging bicycle event that would welcome people from all over the world to discover and explore this small but beautiful country. Ascend Armenia is headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia, and is organized by people scattered around the world who are working towards our common cause. Our race is hosted for the benefit of the country itself. By organizing it we hope to encourage more people around the world to visit, ride, and love this place like we do. We hope that by hosting this event we can increase tourism and benefit both local outdoors based economies. We also hope to encourage and support organizing and building local events and community for Armenian cyclists themselves.
