The 2027 Pu'er Simao Marathon is set to take place on Sunday, January 10, 2027, at 8:00 AM, starting from the Pu'er Grand Theatre in Simao District of Pu'er City, Yunnan Province (elevation 1298 meters). The event will welcome a total of 15,000 participants across two race categories—3,000 runners for the full marathon and 12,000 competitors for the half-marathon. Registration opens on September 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM and closes on November 30, 2026, at 10:00 PM. Should registration exceed capacity, entry will be determined through a lottery system with results announced on December 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM.
The first week of the registration period offers an exclusive discount for early registrants. This event is more than just a race; it's a romantic journey where runners can experience both coffee and tea in one day. The streets of Simao are filled with the aroma of rich coffee beans, making Pu'er known as China’s Coffee Capital. After crossing the finish line, participants can indulge in a cup of Yunnan small bean coffee to soothe their tired muscles.
Simultaneously, the route winds through picturesque tea mountains where every breath is infused with the scent of tea polyphenols. Running beneath the clouds on scenic Mount Jingmai, runners will feel as though they are stepping into ancient history, surrounded by a thousand years of tea culture and lush greenery.
Beyond its athletic challenges, this marathon offers an immersive travel experience. Participants can stay in cozy mountain民宿 (mínshèng), waking up to breathtaking cloud sea vistas and spending their afternoons exploring coffee plantations or relaxing at local hot springs. This unique blend of sport and leisure transforms the race into a rejuvenating holiday that combines physical exertion with cultural exploration.
Pu'er Simao invites all runners, whether they seek personal challenge or an enriching travel experience, to join in this unforgettable event.
