HekhtsirTrail. Golden Autumn 2027 – Spartacus - 30 km

The race starts at 09:00 from Khabarovsk, so expect a pre-start check-in where you collect your bib and possibly undergo a mandatory kit check. Arrive at least 60–90 minutes early to allow time for briefing, warm-up, and any last-minute instructions. Because the route heads into the Khekhtsir hills, listen carefully to any safety announcements about course marking, aid stations, and cut-offs. Finish line procedures and timing details are TBC, so confirm them with the organizer before race day.

Wear trail running shoes with good grip for forest trails, roots, and steep climbs and descents. October in Khabarovsk Krai can be cold, wet, and possibly frosty, so bring a waterproof and windproof layer, gloves, a hat, and spare warm clothing. Carry a hydration system, nutrition, phone, whistle, emergency blanket, and a reusable cup. Mandatory kit is TBC, so check the final requirements before race day and test all gear in training.

Khabarovsk is served by Khabarovsk Novy Airport (KHV) and a major railway station on the Trans-Siberian route. Fly or take a train into Khabarovsk, then use local transport to reach your accommodation and the start area. Book travel and accommodation early for the October event, as options may be limited closer to the date. Staying in Khabarovsk is the most practical base for the race.

Accommodation in Khabarovsk is the most convenient option because the race starts in the city before heading into the Khekhtsir hills. Choose a hotel, hostel, or apartment with easy access to the start or to public transport. Book early, especially if you want to be within walking distance of the start. Check whether the organizer has negotiated any partner rates or recommended hotels.

The entry fee and inclusions are TBC. Trail race entries typically cover bib and timing, aid station support, course marking, and finish line services, but confirm exact details with the organizer once registration opens. With a field capped at 100 runners, enter early if you want to secure a place. Check the cancellation, refund, and transfer policies before paying.
