2026 GO Yew Community Race · Early Autumn Laoshan (2026 GO野社区赛·初秋老山)

Set against the backdrop of Nanjing's picturesque Pujiang District, the 2026 GO野 Community Race is scheduled to take place on September 12th at the outdoor lawn near Xiangtang Tanghu. This scenic location offers a mix of challenging terrain and breathtaking views as runners navigate through lush forests and rolling hills.
The event features three distinct race categories: a grueling 24-kilometer route, a moderate 15-kilometer course, and a family-friendly 7-kilometer option for both youth and adults. Each category promises unique challenges and rewards.
For the ambitious trail runner seeking an epic adventure, the 24-kilometer race offers a rigorous journey with over 1,200 meters of elevation gain spread across its demanding route. Starting at 8:30 AM on September 12th, this event is expected to award runners with one ITRA point for their efforts.
The 15-kilometer course presents an equally scenic and challenging experience, featuring a total climb of around 800 meters within the five-hour time limit. This race also offers valuable ITRA points based on performance.
Meanwhile, the shorter but no less engaging option is the 7-kilometer route designed specifically for young runners alongside their parents or guardians. With an elevation gain of approximately 353 meters and a three-hour cutoff, this category provides a delightful introduction to trail running in a safe yet exciting environment.
The event takes place during early autumn when temperatures are mild and foliage is at its most vibrant. The trails wind through dense forests where the changing leaves create a stunning tapestry of colors against the backdrop of clear blue skies. As runners progress along these picturesque paths, they will encounter various checkpoints that offer both hydration stations and opportunities for scenic rest stops.
The GO野 Community Race promises an unforgettable experience with its combination of challenging terrain, beautiful scenery, and supportive community atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or just starting out, there's something to enjoy at this event in the heart of Nanjing’s natural beauty. Join us on September 12th for what is sure to be one of the highlights of your running calendar!
