Zhejiang-Jiangsu Peak 100K Trail Race 2026 (2026江浙之巅·千八越野赛)

The 2026 Jiang-Zhe Peak Thousand Eight Kilometer Mountain Race is set to take place from November 7th to 8th, in the scenic city of Longquan, Zhejiang Province. This challenging race offers four distinct categories: a grueling 118KM route and a more manageable but still formidable 65KM option, both starting at the Pinnan Mountain Town; as well as two shorter courses: a 28KM trek through picturesque landscapes and a family-friendly 6KM run, all of which start from Longquan City’s Wangou·Taoxi River Cultural Street.
The event is designed to attract seasoned trail runners looking for an epic challenge. The longest course, the 118KM route with its actual distance of 116.8KM and a total climb and descent of over 9031 meters and 9861 meters respectively, offers participants an unforgettable journey through some of China’s most rugged terrain. With a start time on November 7th at 9:00 AM and a generous cutoff time of 35 hours, this race is not just for the ultra-distance runners but also those who wish to take their endurance to new heights.
The second longest course, covering an actual distance of 67.3KM with climbs and descents totaling over 4118 meters and 4966 meters respectively, starts at Pinnan Mountain Town and shares its finish line with the longer event on November 7th as well. This route is ideal for runners who want to experience a significant challenge but are looking for an option that might be more manageable than the full marathon distance.
For those seeking something less daunting yet still rewarding, the 28KM course offers stunning scenery and terrain changes over its actual length of 27.9KM with climbs and descents totaling around 1000 meters each way. Starting from Longquan City’s Wangou·Taoxi River Cultural Street on November 8th at 9:00 AM, this event provides a perfect balance for runners who enjoy the thrill of mountain racing without committing to an entire day.
The final category is a fun and accessible option for all ages—the 6KM run. This course covers an actual distance of 6.43KM with climbs and descents totaling around 150 meters each way, making it ideal for families or beginners who want to experience the event’s atmosphere without the long-distance commitment. Like its sibling courses, this race also begins at Wangou·Taoxi River Cultural Street on November 8th.
Registration is open until October 23rd with early bird discounts available before that date. Early sign-ups are encouraged as spots are limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. A special highlight for female runners—registration fees will be fully refunded to women who complete their respective courses, adding an extra incentive to join this exciting event.
With its diverse terrain ranging from steep ascents through forested trails to scenic descents along river valleys, the Jiang-Zhe Peak Thousand Eight Kilometer Mountain Race promises a unique and memorable experience for all participants.
