A short, punchy mountain trail race on Scorpion Mountain outside Jinan, run solo over a course that packs more than 700 metres of climbing into just over 15 kilometres. The route is registered with ITRA at mountain level 5 and finisher level 70, so expect steep, sustained climbs and equally steep descents rather than flat runnable trail.

Other questions
The route gains 701 metres of elevation and loses the same amount, all inside roughly 15 km, so the gradients are steep for a race of this length.
No. Participation is listed as solo, so each runner covers the whole 15 km course individually.
Early November in Jinan is typically cool and dry, with cold mornings and mild afternoons. Mountain conditions on the ridge can be windier and colder than in the city, so layers are worth carrying.
