2026 Liangjiang Station Guangdong Trail Cross Country League Race (2026环跑粤径越野联赛廉江站)

The 2026 Guangdong Trail Running League Liangjiang Station is set to take place on November 8, 2026, at 8:30 AM in the Shanshan Ethnic Village (Lianjiang No. 33 Windmill Road) located within Lianjiang City's Tangpeng Town, Guangdong Province. This event features three distinct race categories—24KM Peak Dance Group, 12KM Wilderness Echoes Group, and a family-friendly 6KM Green Ridge Ramble—to cater to various levels of experience.
Participants in the challenging 24KM route will embark on an adventure through some of the most captivating natural landscapes in Guangdong. The course includes ascents up Windmill Mountain Spine, Poji Peak, multiple reservoirs, and dense forests filled with unique rock formations. With a total elevation gain of 1,211 meters over seven hours, this route is designed for experienced trail runners aiming to accumulate ITRA points.
The 12KM Wilderness Echoes Group offers an excellent introduction to the rugged beauty of Windmill Mountain's spine without overwhelming novices. This shorter but equally scenic course includes key highlights such as windmills and Poji Peak, allowing participants to enjoy the essence of the mountain terrain in a more manageable timeframe.
For those looking for a relaxed outdoor experience with their families or friends, the 6KM Green Ridge Ramble is an ideal choice. Starting at 9:00 AM alongside the other groups but focusing on enjoyment rather than competition, this route winds through low-elevation trails and scenic viewpoints along Windmill Mountain Road. Participants can expect to enjoy breathtaking views of windmills and lush forests while engaging in a leisurely pace that encourages exploration over speed.

This particular event not only provides runners with an opportunity to explore unique terrain but also offers stunning photo opportunities amidst 33 windmills arrayed along mountain ridges, creating a picturesque backdrop that captures the essence of trail running in Guangdong.
Whether you're an experienced runner seeking new challenges or someone looking for a family-friendly outing, this event promises unforgettable experiences and breathtaking vistas. Don't miss your chance to be part of what has become one of the most anticipated events on the regional race calendar.
