The 40km race sets off at 07:30 on 1 November 2026 from the event base near Anqing in Anhui province, China.
The route covers 38.54km with around 2,392m of ascent and 2,392m of descent, so it is a genuinely mountainous day out rather than a flat trail run.
The 40km race is capped at 1,000 participants, so entering early is sensible if you are travelling to Anhui specifically for the event.
The event is listed for solo participation without a stated qualifying standard. Any experience or medical requirements are set by the organiser and published with the entry information.
Early November in Anhui is typically cool and dry, with colder conditions on the higher sections of the course. Carry layers that you can add and remove through the day.
