2026 Beijing Xishan Chongyang Peak Climbing Festival (2026北京西山重阳逐峰登山节)

Autumn colors paint the Western Hills of Beijing, and on October 18, 2026, runners will gather for the Capital's annual Chongyang Festival Hill Climb. This year’s edition promises to be an exhilarating experience as participants take off from the East Gate of Xishan National Forest Park at 8:00 AM.
The event features a single category known as the "Chasing Wind" group, with a challenging route covering 22 kilometers through some of Beijing's most scenic mountain terrain. The crisp autumn air and vibrant foliage create an ideal setting for runners to test their endurance while enjoying breathtaking views.
Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis until full capacity is reached. Early bird discounts are available to those who sign up by October 5, offering a special incentive to secure your spot early in this popular event.
As the leaves change and the weather cools, participants will traverse winding trails that wind through hillsides blanketed with autumn hues. The climb offers panoramic vistas of Beijing’s western suburbs, making it an unforgettable journey for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike. Join us as we celebrate Chongyang by conquering peaks and embracing nature's splendor in Xishan National Forest Park.
The day promises to be a celebration not just of athletic achievement but also cultural heritage, with the spirit of autumn’s bounty permeating every step along the way.
