The Yunqiu Mountain Trail Race by UTMB utilizes the unique natural scenery and cultural landscape of Yunqiu Mountain, offering multiple categories for runners to experience a highly challenging mountain trail running event.

What this race demands

This 160.8-kilometer mountain ultramarathon demands immense aerobic endurance and structural durability to manage 6,870 meters of elevation change over a continuous effort.

Continuous climbing capacity

Accumulating nearly 6,900 meters of vertical gain over a 160.8 km distance requires sustained muscular endurance and efficient energy expenditure on steep inclines.

Eccentric leg durability

The substantial descent volume associated with the high elevation profile demands exceptional structural resilience in the quadriceps and calves to resist eccentric fatigue.

Ultra-distance pacing control

Completing a course of this magnitude requires strict adherence to a conservative early-race pace to preserve glycogen stores and prevent late-stage systemic breakdown.

Given the extended duration of this event, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy availability throughout the effort.
