2026 Astra 5K Series - Tiaoxi Stage (2026 Astra 5K 系列赛‑苕溪站)

The Tiaoxi stage of the 2026 Astra 5K Series starts at 17:00 on October 25 at Wulongjian on the Tiaoxi River in Yuhang, Hangzhou. The single 5 km race has a 45-minute time limit, and places are first come, first served.
Pure 5 km competitions are rare in the athletics road-race system, and finishers receive a certified result and an electronic finisher certificate. The race is part of the Run Across China series, and official timing results can be checked on the Digital Heartbeat platform.
The course is a closed loop on a plastic-surfaced greenway with people and vehicles fully separated. It follows the Xixian Dadang waterfront path past rice fields, reeds and stream bends, and passes the Wulongjian water-control heritage site and reed wetlands. With an evening start, the organizers promise low sun over the river and blooming reeds along the banks.
