2027 Third "Love for Mountains and Wilderness · Pilgrimage to Jing Shan" Trail Race (2027第三届“酷爱山野·朝圣径山”越野赛)

On January 17, 2027, the third edition of the "Ku'ai Shan Ye · Chao Sheng Jing Shan" Trail Race will take runners through some of China's most stunning mountain landscapes. The race starts at Baiwaterfall Canyon Scenic Area in Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, offering four distinct distance options: 42 kilometers, 30 kilometers, 21 kilometers, and a shorter 13.14-kilometer route.
The course winds through the lush bamboo forests of Jing Shan, where ancient temples nestled among verdant peaks offer glimpses into China's rich cultural heritage. Runners will experience the cool mountain air as they ascend along winding stone paths that lead to breathtaking vistas overlooking dense greenery and cascading waterfalls. The race captures both the natural beauty of the region and its profound spiritual significance.
Participants can register for this event until November 30, 2026 at midnight local time to secure early bird pricing. Special recognition goes out to those who have participated in previous editions; they will receive a commemorative red jacket upon registration as an added incentive to return to Jing Shan's trails once again.
The race promises not only challenging terrain but also a unique blend of physical exertion and cultural immersion, making it a must for both trail runners seeking scenic routes and those interested in the historical depth of China’s mountain regions.
