2026 Guangzhou Huangpu Trail Race (2026广州黄埔越野赛)

The 2026 Guangzhou Huangpu Trail Race, scheduled for November 22nd at the Changling National Mountain Fitness Pathway in Huangpu District, offers runners an immersive experience through some of Guangdong's most stunning natural landscapes. The race features three distinct categories: a challenging 24-kilometer course with over 1300 meters of elevation gain, a scenic 15-kilometer route that ascends nearly 700 meters, and two family-friendly options covering seven kilometers each.
Participants in the longer distances will start early on race day—those tackling the full 24K journey setting off at 7:30 AM. The shorter courses begin later for families eager to explore together but still looking for a taste of the mountain trails, kicking off at 9:00 AM. All runners will enjoy breathtaking views as they navigate through lush forests and alongside pristine reservoirs.
The course winds along scenic paths that offer both technical challenges and moments of serene beauty. Runners can expect to pass by water features like Water Sound Reservoir, where the tranquil waters reflect the surrounding greenery in stunning fashion. The terrain is varied, with steep climbs followed by descents through dense forests filled with autumn foliage.
The Huangpu Trail Race promises a day rich in natural splendor and athletic challenge, making it an ideal event for trail runners seeking both scenic beauty and physical exertion on their schedule this November.
For those looking to enjoy the outdoors without the pressure of competition, there are family-friendly options available. These shorter routes allow parents and children alike to explore together while taking in the picturesque views along the trails.
Registration is now open with spots allocated on a first-come-first-served basis until all slots for each category have been filled.
