Roshka to Kazbegi - Running through the Caucasus Map

A run full of contrasts. From the quiet village of Roshka to the eroded path over Chaukhi pass. Relish in the beautiful tricoloured lakes as you run through terrain similar to that of the alps. Descend into a green valley, following a rushing stream down to the Fifth Season Hut. Take a turkish coffee and bask in the sun, soaking up breathtaking mountain scenery before taking the road back into civilisation – a shock to the senses after the last few days in the wilds of the Caucasus.
