About the Event

Set against the stunning backdrop of Beijing's iconic Fragrant Hills, the Sixth Annual Fragrant Hill Mountain Trail Race promises an unforgettable day for runners and nature enthusiasts alike. Scheduled to take place on September 26, 2026, at 8:00 AM in the parking lot near Jade Emperor Peak, this event offers a variety of distances including a challenging 42-kilometer route, a scenic 21-kilometer course, and shorter options of 12 kilometers and 6 kilometers (without timing). Entries are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the races reach capacity.
Participants will experience one of Beijing's most beloved natural landscapes as they traverse through the historic Fragrant Hills. Renowned for its breathtaking autumn foliage, this area is part of the famous "West Hill Snow" among the Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing and has served as a royal garden during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The hills are home to numerous cultural sites such as the Temple of Fragrant Hills, Clouds in Green Temple, Double-Clear Villa, Revolutionary Memorial Hall, and the National Botanical Garden.
The 42-kilometer route is designed around the main mountain ranges, providing runners with a true test of endurance while offering panoramic views from scenic spots like the popular Instagram destination "Cuiwei Peak." Along this course, participants will be surrounded by vibrant red leaves that paint the hills in shades of autumn. The event not only celebrates the beauty and history of Fragrant Hills but also marks it as one of Beijing's pioneering venues for mountain running.
Runners are encouraged to register early to secure their spot at the discounted "early bird" rate available until September 15, 2026.
The race is more than just a competition; it’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Beijing during its most picturesque season. As participants navigate through trails lined with autumn foliage, they will have ample opportunities to admire panoramic views of the city skyline from various vantage points along the route.
For those who love both running and exploring historical landmarks, this event offers a unique blend of physical challenge and cultural immersion in one of Beijing's most cherished natural settings.
