MRC to Tbilisi
We are going to Tbilisi!
This August, we’re packing our trail shoes and heading to Georgia to visit our friends at MRC Tbilisi. They know how to run. They know how to party. And we’re joining them for both.
The plan? We’re hitting the trails in Kazbegi for their annual mountain race, followed by a well-earned celebration at their clubhouse back in Tbilisi. Expect stunning landscapes, plenty of good times, and yes—some beers.

Accommodation
For Kazbegi, we’re all staying in the same hotel—because post-run beers just taste better together. The Hotel is included in the package
For Tbilisi, we’re keeping it flexible. You have to book yourself.
Stay where you want, but here are some solid options:
- Fabrika Hostel & Suites
- ZP Palace

Transport
Everyone sorts their own way to Tbilisi - we want MRC’ers from around the world to join. Once you arrive, check in at your hotel and meet us for dinner on Friday night.

How to sign up
Spots for the trail race are limited, so grab your ticket now.
Flights and hotels can come later, but your start number won’t wait.
Looking forward to running, drinking, and making some new stories with you.
All the best,
MRC Tbilisi
