Mountains in the Wilderness – Zhagana Trail Experience Race 2026: 20km Along the Mountains

The race is scheduled for 1 November 2026 in the Zhagana area around Diebu, Gansu Province, China. The start time is 09:00.

No. The race is listed as a solo event, so each entrant covers the full course alone.

The area sits at altitude in the mountains of southern Gansu, and early November can bring cold mornings, wind and even snow at height. Bring layers and check the organiser's final information in the days before the race.

Diebu is reached overland from larger towns in Gansu, usually via Lanzhou or Têwo. Travel times are long, so most runners arrive at least a day early and stay locally in Diebu or Zhagana. Confirm transport and accommodation with the organiser once your entry is confirmed.

ITRA grades courses by their climbing and technical character. A mountain level of 9 indicates a substantially mountainous route, and the finisher level of 330 reflects the effort required to complete it.
