2027 Beijing Shiyuan Park UTP100 Spring Festival Carnival (2027北京世园公园UTP100春季嘉年华)

The 2027 Beijing World Horticultural Park UTP100 Spring Festival is set to take place on May 15, 2027 (Saturday) and May 16, 2027 (Sunday), at the Beijing International Tourism Resort. The event will feature a variety of race categories designed for runners of all levels, including a challenging 100-kilometer individual course starting early on Saturday morning and relay options for both 100 kilometers and 50 kilometers distances.
Runners can also participate in shorter races such as the 50-kilometer solo event on Sunday, or choose from two 10-kilometer courses available each day. For families looking to enjoy a fun-filled day out, there are family-friendly 5-kilometer runs scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The race route winds through the scenic Beijing International Tourism Resort Park, utilizing its internal roads and greenways that provide runners with an uninterrupted experience away from motor vehicle traffic. The terrain is mostly flat, offering participants a chance to focus on their pace without significant elevation changes. Each lap covers approximately 5 kilometers, making it easy for competitors to track their progress throughout the event.
Registration for this exciting festival opened in September of last year and will remain open until December 31st, with early bird discounts available up until October 31st. Should demand exceed capacity, a lottery system will be implemented to allocate spots; those not selected through the draw process will receive full refunds.
This event promises an engaging day out for both serious athletes and casual runners alike, offering stunning views of Beijing's natural beauty while providing ample opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts in a supportive community atmosphere.
