2026 Go Nature Community Race · Anhui-Su Hiking Mountain Run (2026 GO野社区赛·苏皖步道跑山赛)

Scheduled for November 29, 2026, the GO野 Community Race is set to take place at Songling Village in Dabu Town, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. This race offers two challenging categories: "Mystic Mountain Realm" (15 kilometers) and "Autumn Ancient Pines" (24 kilometers), both starting promptly at 8:00 AM.
The Mystic Mountain Realm course spans an actual distance of 14.73 kilometers, with a total elevation gain of 897 meters. Participants will have six hours to complete the race before the cutoff time of 2:00 PM on November 29th. This category is recognized by ITRA and offers valuable points for runners.
The Autumn Ancient Pines course extends over an actual distance of 24.9 kilometers, featuring a cumulative elevation gain of 1039 meters. Similarly, this race also starts at 8:00 AM on November 29th with the same six-hour time limit before closing at 2:00 PM.
Both courses are set along the Suan National Mountain Fitness Trail, which was designated as a "National Demonstration Project for Mountain Climbing and Physical Fitness" by the Chinese Mountaineering Association in 2024. The trail winds through pristine natural landscapes that come alive with vibrant autumn hues, transforming the rugged terrain into an enchanting tapestry of amber and rust.
As runners traverse the historic Songling Ancient Path covered in layers of fallen leaves whispering secrets to each other, they will encounter a blend of steep climbs and serene descents. The race route not only marks the boundary between Jiangsu and Anhui provinces but also serves as an open-air canvas where nature paints its most breathtaking scenes.
This event promises runners a unique opportunity to connect with nature while testing their endurance on some of China's finest mountain trails, offering both scenic beauty and athletic challenge in equal measure.
