Test your limits against the "Giant of East Fujian" at the 2026 Mt. Shiniu 100 Ultra Trail, returning to Dehua County on March 28 and 29, 2026. This endurance masterpiece takes place within a national 4A-level scenic area, characterized by its dramatic granite peaks, prehistoric volcanic geology, and the iconic "Stone Ox" formations. Runners navigate a technical landscape of steep ridgelines, secluded caves, and cascading waterfalls, including the famous Daixian Waterfall, in a deep immersion into one of China’s most celebrated national geological parks.
The 2026 event offers five distinct race categories to suit a range of trail-running ambitions. The flagship 100km Ultra and the 50km Trail both kick off at dawn on Saturday, March 28, challenging athletes with over 5,000 meters of cumulative elevation gain. For those seeking shorter but equally scenic bursts of adrenaline, the Sunday schedule features the 32km, 20km, and 9km courses. Each route highlights the biodiversity of the Shiniushan Scenic Area, leading participants through lush bamboo forests and across cliffside trails that offer panoramic views of the mist-shrouded Fujian mountains.
