Xishan Trail Festival Beijing Modi Kou Station 2026 (2026西山越野荟·北京模式口站)

The 2026 Xishan Trail Festival, set to take place on November 22, 2026, offers runners an unforgettable journey through the historic and scenic landscapes of Beijing's Modekou Park. This annual gathering has been rescheduled from its original date due to a scheduling conflict with government events.
Located in the heart of the Shijingshan District, this event features three distinct race categories: a 23km full marathon, a 13km half-marathon, and a family-friendly 6km trek. Participants will experience stunning views and challenging terrain as they navigate through ancient trails, winding paths, and lush forests.
The full marathon course is known for its steep elevation gain of approximately 1,158 meters over the six-hour race window from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The half-marathon, with a climbing profile of about 569 meters, offers runners a taste of both scenic beauty and physical challenge in just three hours. For families looking for an adventure together, the 6km course provides gentle terrain with a climb of around 256 meters, suitable for all ages.
The event takes place amidst ancient temples and historical sites that dot the Xishan mountainside. Runners will encounter trails lined with centuries-old trees and pass by quaint villages where time seems to stand still. The race is not just about running; it's an immersive experience into China’s rich cultural heritage, allowing participants to explore hidden gems like temple complexes, ancient pathways used by camel caravans in the past, and serene landscapes adorned with traditional Chinese art.
Registration for this year’s event opens early, offering a limited number of spots at discounted rates until October 18th. Once registered, all runners will automatically retain their entry status through the rescheduled date without needing to re-register or pay additional fees. Those unable to attend can request full refunds via the original registration platform by September 25th.
The Xishan Trail Festival promises an engaging day filled with breathtaking scenery and a rich tapestry of cultural history, making it a must-attend event for trail runners and nature enthusiasts alike.
